What exactly is this Renaissance?

A group of old stubborn scholars and ministers said that they couldn't understand it, and as for those generals, they didn't understand it even more.

It was the first time the crowd had heard the term. The Renaissance, in the Confucian culture of all dynasties, is not mentioned.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also heard this word for the first time. Before he chatted with Qin Yu, the most talked about the change of dynasty, and did not talk about the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution.

But if you listen to the literal meaning, it is easy to guess that the Renaissance was supposed to be the rise of a new culture and art. If it rises, it will inevitably have an impact on traditional Confucianism.

The crowd has always followed Confucian culture, from the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the present. Now that Zhu Yingrao suddenly proposed the concept of the Renaissance, the scholars in the court immediately felt the danger.

Is Confucianism, which has been inherited for thousands of years in China, to be challenged?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it must not be!" The great Confucian Gao Qi was the first to stand up against it.

"Confucianism is the essence of our Chinese civilization, the foundation, and the soul of the nation, which cannot be interfered with by other cultures." Song Lian said, "Your Majesty, all dynasties have allowed only one thought, and that is Confucianism. Only when the minds of the people are unanimously educated by the saints can the country have long-term peace and stability. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to Dong Zhongshu's advice and deposed the hundred schools, as evidenced by the exclusive respect for Confucianism. ”

Confucianism is the soul of the Chinese nation, and benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith are engraved in the bone marrow of the people.

Such a people are humble and tolerant, and such a country is a country of etiquette.

"You haven't read the books that the Duke of Ning Guo wants to print, how can you know it?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked cold and said.

When he heard Zhu Yingrao's words just now, he also subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate, after all, the Confucian idea of loyalty and filial piety can make the people more docile and docile. If Confucianism is used to control the people of the world, the people will not be able to make any big waves.

Once Confucianism loses its dominant position, and the people's minds are let go one by one, no one can predict what will become.

But hearing that all the scholars stood up against it, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood on Zhu Yingrao's side.

I faintly feel in my heart that this world belongs to the people, and the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat. Although Confucianism can be controlled for a while, it cannot be controlled forever.

The people of the world will wake up sooner or later.

When the people of the world wake up, the Ming Dynasty will face a huge crisis. It's better to let Princess Ning Guo test the water first and see how the people react, if it really causes chaos, it will be completely too late to stop it when the time comes.

"What we mean is that first let Princess Ningguo print a few dozens of copies, and then let all the great Confucians screen and discuss them in detail. And put some of it into the people, see how the people react, and then discuss it. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty is wise." Seeing that the emperor had spoken, a group of scholars could only agree.

The thoughts of the civil officials in the entire court at this moment were unprecedentedly unanimous, and as soon as Princess Ningguo's book was printed, they immediately organized themselves to find fault with the book and carry out a crazy attack. strangled the renaissance of Princess Ningguo in the cradle.

The readers of the Hanlin Academy are all the best among the scholars in the world, and the level of fault finding is first-class.

"Your Majesty, it costs a lot of money to print books." Lu Chang stood out of the train and said, "This silver, you can't let the household department come out, right?" Your Majesty knows, and now the Ming Dynasty has just established ......"

"How much did it cost to print a book? I don't think you want to take out a tael or two. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy is also a breeze with two sleeves, and there is no spare money." Gao Qidao.

"Don't worry, this princess doesn't need your Hanlin Academy to pay, and she doesn't need the Ministry to pay." Zhu Yingrao said, "I sold all the jewelry in the house, and I have scraped together enough 10,000 taels, enough for the first printing." ”

"Mr. Qin's story is extremely attractive and likes to be cut off at critical moments, anyone who watches the first episode must want to watch the second episode, once it is released, many people will rush to buy it, and the money will be earned back at that time."

"Alright, that's it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Ying'er, you first hand over the books to the Hanlin Academy, and print five hundred copies first." Ten books were left in the Hanlin Academy to find fault with those great Confucians, and you took the rest to sell yourself. ”

"Father Xie, my sons and daughters are retired!" Zhu Yingrao walked out of the court happily.

……

"Your Majesty, King Yan is crazy!" As soon as Princess Zhu Yingrao of Ningguo left, a eunuch entered the door in a panic.

"Bold, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is in front of his mansion, and he wants to perform for everyone!" The person who came said, "That Ding is at least a few thousand catties that normal people can't lift at all, and everyone persuades King Yan to ignore it, once King Yan lifts it, it is extremely dangerous." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.

"Yan Wang said that he wants to show everyone the physics knowledge he just learned! How is it possible to say that there is no danger in him lifting the crown! When Yingdang lifted the crown, he broke his leg bone. "Come humane.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard this...... What's wrong with our emperors? The king of Shu sold soap and learned the behavior of a businessman, and the Duke of Ning Guo mainly printed books, and now the king of Yan is going to raise the throne again!!

"Let's go over and see for ourselves if he's crazy!"

When he first heard that Zhu Di was going to lift the crown, he was also worried, but when he heard the word physics, Zhu Yuanzhang put down a small part of the big stone in his heart. Mr. Qin's chemistry has already created the miracle of soap, but what miracle will his physics create?

Soon, he brought the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to the Yanwang Mansion.

Sure enough, I saw Yan Wang Zhu Di standing in front of a big ding, trying to lift it. The maids next to them were crying and panicking one by one, and there was a lot of wailing. "His Royal Highness King Yan, please don't be stupid, how can such a heavy Dading mortal lift it? If you have three long and two short, how can you live as slaves and maids! A girl hugged his leg and said.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, the old slave knelt down for you." An old eunuch knelt down with a pout, also pleading. If something happens to King Yan, I'm afraid that the entire palace will be beheaded.

"The Imperial Doctor is here." Amid the shouts of the crowd, an imperial doctor walked out of the crowd with a medicine box on his shoulder, "His Royal Highness King Yan, please allow the official to take your pulse." According to the speculation of the lower officials, His Royal Highness may have hysteria......"

"Someone, control His Royal Highness King Yan, and I will prescribe him a prescription for concentrating and calming qi."

"This king is not sick, get out of the way of this king!" Yanwang Zhu Di said.

"Your Majesty, will you persuade King Yan?" The ministers also followed anxiously, but Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't say a word, he felt that Zhu Di might create a miracle for everyone today.
