"Your Royal Highness, and today, although the country and the people are safe, there are many hidden worries, especially in terms of learning, there is a situation where there is more and more disregard for respect and humility and only practical results, I am afraid that in the future, the etiquette and music will be bad, and everyone has no king and no country in their hearts!"

"In the opinion of fools, to avoid this situation, the first thing is to make learning respectful, and then make people respectful."

"For this reason, we should take science as the body and all studies as the application."

East Palace.

On this day, Xue Zongye, the speaker of the East Palace, was also peddling his opinion that knowledge should have a priority to Zhu Changxun, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

And his reason was that there should be a hierarchy of dignity and humility in this learning, just as a person should have a hierarchy of dignity and inferiority.

However, the difference between Xue Zongye and Zhu Jimao is that he advocates science as the body, not Confucianism as the body.

Undoubtedly, Xue Zongye is more conservative than Zhu Jimao.

Some of the lecturers around Zhu Changxun, who advocated the same as Shen Shixing, were indignant after hearing this.

But.

Without waiting for other speakers to come out to refute, Zhu Changxun himself pondered for a moment at this moment before speaking:

"Master Xue, what you said is obviously speaking for the landlord, if you really want to be knowledgeable, you must also pay attention to dignity and orderliness, in fact, there is no difference from the only religion;"

"Because in this way, it will only make the people of the world willing to master only one science."

"And according to your point of view of science as the body, it will make people in the world only want to master science, so that those who know Cheng Zhu are afraid that everyone in the world is the same, but I am afraid that few people know the theory of the Pythagorean rate of the circumference."

"In this way, although the steam engine appeared, I am afraid that the skills of this dynasty can only stop at the steam engine."

"And this is conducive to the landlord to eat the rent all the time, after all, once there is no new machine, sooner or later the wealth increased by the steam engine will be to the point where it cannot be increased, and then the new population will have to continue farming."

"It may even be because of the body of science, which will gradually make future generations less and less aware of the steam engine, but will return to the era when people can only weave cloth and dress and rely on horse-drawn vehicles to carry people in a few years."

"In addition, did Master Xue only think of speaking for the landlords, and didn't he think that once this is the case, sooner or later the land in the world will not be enough for human races, and it will lead to insufficient people to eat, and then thieves breed, so that the country will be ruined?"

When Zhu Changxun said this, he asked Xue Zongye in a deep voice: "Did Master Xue not think of it or didn't want to think about it?!" ”

Xue Zongye hurriedly crawled on the ground, and said bitterly: "Go back to Your Highness, but if you don't take science as the body, sooner or later the people of the world will not take the monarch father to heart!" ”

"If you take science as the body, will you take you to heart?!"

Zhu Changxun asked rhetorically.

Zhu Changxun then said: "Master Xue, not only did you lie to me, but you also deceived yourself?!" ”

"If you dare to lie to yourself, I really don't know if you will really dare to deceive the world in the future, so how can a person like you be worthy of being the ruling minister in the future?"

Zhu Changxun then asked Xue Zongye again.

Xue Zongye's whole person was struck by a sudden thunderbolt for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Your Highness is a good question!"

"The time when the science of this dynasty was the body of science, it was the time when the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book were more and more destroyed by the locality, and the imperial court became more and more ignorant of the local population and the real situation of the land."

"When the science of this dynasty is the body, especially when the great Confucian Xue Hedong (Xue Xuan) and others emerge in an endless stream, it is the time when the eunuch Wang Zhen is in trouble, the emperor can be replaced, and the courtiers dare to kill the Jinyi guard in front of the emperor."

It can be said that whether the monarch's father can be respected by the people of the world does not depend on whether the science is a body, but whether the Son of Heaven is a strong soldier! That is, whether you can know how many people you have in your country, how much land you have, and who owns them. ”

"Specifically, it is how much the Son of Heaven knows the real situation of this world, and the more thoroughly he understands, the more he will be feared by the people of the world."

Li Zhen echoed at this time, looked at Xue Zongye, and said:

"I don't understand, why the princess refuses to teach His Highness the most authentic things, and he has to use His Highness to be the prince, but must want to deceive His Highness with the psychology of being the only one in the world in the future, the prince really doesn't know whether he is really stupid or really bad!"

"Your Highness!"

"Li Zhuowu slandered the minister!"

"He's slandering the minister!"

"The minister is loyal to His Royal Highness, and will only teach the world to understand the way of being a king, and has no selfishness."

"The sun and the moon can be learned, and the sky can be seen!"

Xue Zongye immediately argued for himself excitedly at this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Changxun said: "Then let me just let you know that Master Xue is confused, like a frog at the bottom of the well, I won't blame you, but in the future, I will ask Master Xue to lecture on reason, don't take the opportunity to sell your views to me, you can speak on behalf of Cheng Zhu and explain Cheng Zhu's views clearly." ”

Xue Zongye had no choice but to say yes after hearing this.

"Because the speakers of the East Palace are too mixed, His Royal Highness has been cultivated to be quite assertive and open-minded, so that although I am a master, in his eyes, I am like a harlequin!"

When Xue Zongye left the East Palace and met with Chen Yuwen on this day, he mentioned his current perception of the prince.

Chen Yuwen sighed after hearing this: "So, the prince has to be changed!" ”

Xue Zongye was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and was quite serious: "What are you talking about, how can the country move without permission!" ”

"There is a righteousness in power, it is good to establish a successor, but it is not as good as a successor after all!"

"Although Gong is the master of the East Palace, he can't just think about his personal future, not to mention, with Gong's current remarks, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will no longer regard Gong Yi as a master in his heart!"

Chen Yuwen's implication is that the prince is no longer the same as you and me, he just wants to suppress technology, imprison thoughts, weaken the people, and then become the landlord of the manor with peace of mind.

At this time, if he is allowed to be the prince and the emperor in the future, it will definitely not be good, it is better to give him an unvirtuous reputation as soon as possible, so that there is a reason to change the prince!

And although you Xue Zongye are now the master of the East Palace, it is impossible for the prince to be reused in the future, after all, your Xue Zongye's concept is no longer accepted by the prince.

Xue Zongye nodded, and then said: "Having said that, moving the country is a major event, and it can't be done lightly!" ”

"What's more, this is contrary to the purpose of science that we really want to adhere to, if we really don't establish a successor because we want to be virtuous, then isn't it that we have already violated our own science, so how can we win the trust of the people of the world?"

"That's a bad word!"

"Those who are willing to accept science are not because they are really upheld, but because they are worthy of their belief and accept their exclusive status."

"Therefore, even if we advocate science as the body and first violate science, people in the world will still believe it!"

"What's more, only in this way can we screen out the smart and the unintelligent, if you can really succeed in establishing the virtuous, then just get rid of the smart, so that the rest of the world is the unintelligent, the country full of the unintelligent, and science can be its body."

After Chen Yuwen said, Xue Zongye suddenly realized: "In this way, it is appropriate to try to set off a wave of establishing a successor who is not as good as being a virtuous." ”

"It's good if the public can understand."

"This can also make His Royal Highness feel pressure, let him know that if he doesn't have the identity of the eldest son, everything will be worry-free, if he doesn't conform to the hearts of the people in the world and doesn't be a sage in the hearts of the people in the world, then even if he is the eldest son, he will be deposed for being unvirtuous."

"In this way, His Highness may have to correct himself, doesn't the public say that he is very smart and assertive, he should take the initiative to correct it, so there is no need for us to violate the principle of establishing a successor."

Chen Yuwen replied with a smile.

Xue Zongye sighed at this time: "If it can be like this, it is the best!" But in this way, it is really necessary to make some voices that are not as good as Lixian come out, which is also conducive to the introspection of the East Palace, so it is really necessary to make Liyan not as good as Lixian's voice. ”

"That's exactly what you say!"

……

"Your Majesty!"

"Many informants under the East Factory came to report, and many voices of Liyan or Lixian suddenly appeared among the people!"

this day.

Tian Yi, the commander of the East Factory, hurried to Zhu Yijun and spoke.

Zhu Yijun frowned after hearing this: "Who is holding such a view?" ”

"At present, it is just some ordinary people, and there are few bureaucrats, but they should be tempting, and it is estimated that soon some bureaucrats will also start to discuss this matter."

Tian Yi replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun sneered: "Suddenly there is a heated discussion about whether to stand up or be virtuous, and it is clear that the meaning of the words is that the current prince is not virtuous." ”

Zhu Yijun said and ordered: "Go and call the prince!" ”

"Yes!"

Not much.

The crown prince Zhu Changxun came to Zhu Yijun and said, "Father! ”

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but raise his head: "It's a lot higher." ”

Then, Zhu Yijun frowned again and asked, "It's just that why is it not as calm as before." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhu Changxun asked.

Zhu Yijun asked Tian Yi to inform Zhu Changxun of what Dongchang knew.

Zhu Changxun was shocked when he heard this: "There are only a few foreign courtiers who can contact his sons, and they all have the friendship of teachers and students, how do they know whether I am virtuous or not?" ”

"Naturally, you expressed your opinion, and some people realized that you are not a manipulative prince."

"I told you to hide your foolishness and guard your clumsiness, and not to show your edge too much."

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhu Changxun said: "Erchen knows, but Erchen finds that if he is blindly clumsy, he will be despised by them!" Instead, they will kick their noses in the face, and fool Erchen as a fool, and even the master who wants to tell the truth will not dare to tell the truth, and he will not dare to teach his sons seriously, and they will also start to think that Erchen's qualifications are too poor, and his understanding is very low, and it is only easy to believe the words of those with ulterior motives, but he misunderstood him and did not understand their contrary words, so Erchen now has to express his attitude sometimes. ”

"No wonder, you have a point."

After Zhu Yijun heard the prince say this, he said a word, and then said: "You are now sixteen, it is time to go through some ups and downs, you can't always just learn!" ”

As he was talking, Huang Xun came over at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Shuntianfu is secretly playing, there is a widow in Nuanchun Building who jumped off the building and died, but there is a little master's pants hidden on his body!" ”
