Science?

Xia Yuanji suddenly heard this term, and his heart was stunned.

After he took over the Faculty of Letters, he also heard Zhu Gaoxian mention science, and the courses taught in the Academy had nothing to do with Confucianism, but were all subjects of mathematics, agriculture, industry and commerce.

In Zhu Gaoxian's words, the Academy of Literature does not need those garbage studies that can only be exaggerated and have no practical effect, but only need to cultivate practical talents with comprehensive quality.

It is precisely for this reason that hundreds of Confucian scholars were instigated and agitated to storm the Academy, resulting in Xia Yuanji, the dean, being injured......

However, at this time, when he heard the word science from Yang Rong, the head of the cabinet, Xia Yuanji suddenly became serious, and his expression was full of solemnity:

"Brother Mian Ren, let me ask you, is Your Majesty really going to depose Confucianism and re-establish science this time?"

Yang Rong stared at him for a while, and then smiled slightly:

"As the dean of the Academy of Letters, you can't even see this?"

He stood up, paced a few steps around the hall, and spoke again:

"The students of the Academy of Literature have graduated in two batches, and from the feedback from their scattered to designated positions in various places, it is indeed fruitful, and they are much more vigorous and resolute than those officials in the past, and they are willing to do something practical for the people below."

"But judging from His Majesty's intentions, it is still far from enough!"

"Brother Wei Zhe, there are still too few students from the Academy of Literature, at most they can only be regarded as miscellaneous studies, scattered all over the Ming Dynasty, they can only set off a few small waves, and they are far from meeting His Majesty's requirements, and they can't set off those thousand waves."

"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne and is in power, it is natural to increase efforts again."

"Although Confucianism is a prominent study in the world, if it offends His Majesty's mind, it is just a miscellaneous science!"

Xia Yuanji listened to it in his ears and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He was also a scholar, or a scholar before the Ming Dynasty, almost all of whom grew up reading Confucian classics, and he was an out-and-out Confucian disciple.

But since following His Majesty, these people, whether they are important ministers in the court or officials at the bottom, have gradually begun to abandon Confucianism and silently learn the kind of science that His Majesty said.

After all, Confucianism can only be empty talk, but science can be practical, and it is very beneficial to the governance of the country.

"Confucianism is deeply rooted, and it is not easy for Your Majesty to depose its position, I am afraid it will not be easy......"

After a long time, Xia Yuanji let out a sigh, obviously thinking of the situation they would face next.

And Yang Rong also felt the same way, as the first assistant of the cabinet, he had more contact and learned more information, and even knew that Jinyiwei had already begun to arrange certain things in secret, and there were also elite squads in the three major battalions that were constantly being transferred to other places......

All of this means that a new storm is about to come in the Northland!

And this time, it will definitely not be as easy as cutting off the heads of the officials and Shangshu and others a while ago, maybe how many Northland families will be uprooted, and they will be completely wiped out from now on!

Thinking of this, the expression on his face also became serious, and he said to Xia Yuanji:

"Brother Wei Zhe, once His Majesty's will is issued this time, it will definitely cause an uproar between the government and the opposition."

"And among them, I don't know how many undercurrents will surge, and maybe even someone will try to rebel......"

"We have to do our best to share your Majesty's worries."

Xia Yuanji frowned, a little doubtful:

"No, Your Majesty's martial arts strategy and coercion over the four seas have just swept Mobei, could there be people in the north who are so unwise?"

Yang Rong recalled some of the news he had seen, and couldn't help but sneer:

"In this world, there are not just one or two people who want to die!"

……

"Your Majesty, could it be that these people really dare to rebel?"

In the palace, Zhu Gaoxian called Su Wu and Shen Qingyu and explained some things.

Su Wu felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask:

"The three battalions have just returned from an expedition, and it is the time when they are full of blood and gearing up, these people are crazy, will they really rebel?"

"Join forces to rebel, do they have the guts?"

When Zhu Gaoxian heard this, he immediately sneered:

"Heh, you're going to have to fork it, they still have the guts."

"But," he said domineeringly, "what if there is a rebellion?" ”

"You and I both know that the morale of the army is booming, and it can be called invincible, but in the eyes of outsiders, I, the emperor, are reckless, and the expedition to Mobei has exhausted the financial resources of the imperial court.

"Maybe in the eyes of some people, my three major battalions are completely unafraid, they are just some remnants of the defeated army!"

In fact, according to the investigation of the Jinyi Wei secret agent sent by Shen Qingyu, there are indeed many people who feel that their army suffered heavy losses in the battle of Mobei, and now it is just an empty shelf......

However, for Zhu Gaoxian, the more others don't value the three battalions, the more good it is.

When the time comes, it will be convenient to wipe out all these people and uproot them!

When Su Wu heard this, he was immediately furious.

He is the commander of the imperial court, and he is Zhu Gaoxian's confidant in the army, so he naturally knows the true strength of the three major battalions now, and his heart is full of anger towards those who want to make trouble.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will strictly handle this matter in accordance with your will!"

"I will never let go of any anti-thief!"

In Su Wu's opinion, now that His Majesty has ascended the throne and is in charge of the Ming Dynasty, these people who dare to oppose His Majesty should all be thieves, or the kind of crimes that are unforgivable!

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxian just smiled slightly, he still trusted Su Wu to do things, and this time, he had the idea of completely cleaning up the entire northern land, and in the future, he would write and draw on a blank piece of paper, so naturally he would not ask Su Wu's subordinates to show mercy.

Those so-called families, no matter what kind of background they have, no matter what years of history they claim to have been handed down, and what poems and books they have inherited, they can only be cut off one way, and there is no second way to go.

In the popular words of Zhu Gaoxian's later generations, that is, fight local tyrants and divide the land!

It stands to reason that when the old Zhu founded the country, he should have done some work in this regard, but due to the limitations of the class and the narrowness of personal vision and knowledge, the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty was not too friendly to the people.

Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang to kill corrupt officials without mercy, killing one stubble after another, but he doesn't know how to govern the country, so during the Hongwu period, the people did not have many fields, but the taxes were extremely heavy, and there were many rebellions who could not survive......

Fortunately, it has only been more than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not too late for Zhu Gaoxian to correct it at this time! (End of chapter)
