Chapter 811: Abandoning Confucianism
"Gei Master, Your Majesty is destroying Confucianism!...Gei Master, we should find a way to stop Your Majesty. Otherwise, the consequences of the Holy Learning will decline in the future and the consequences will be unimaginable..."
"...Yes! Master Ge, this time Your Majesty is trying to suppress my Confucianism. Master Ge, you have to find a way as soon as possible, otherwise, the court will be full of barbarians in the future..., alas..." This man said halfway, and did not continue.
As soon as this was said, he immediately received some approval. He also received a lot of contempt. If you say stop what the emperor wants to do, then stop it? If it was so simple, there would be no situation now. Now the emperor's strength has reached a point where it cannot be described in words. The emperor has spent so much effort to do something, then object if you say it is against it? If you say it is not possible, then stop? Many people laughed at it with contempt.
Han Yu didn't say anything, just listening, just like many people who despise it. With the current emperor's strength, Is it possible to stop the emperor from planning for a long time?
I was silent for a while.
"...No, Mr. Xu is also a disciple of Confucianism, and also from a Jinshi. He is a decent descendant of China. Although he borrowed from Western Buddhism, this is still my Confucianism. He does things for the people of the Ming Dynasty. He cannot be considered abolishing Confucianism. At most, he just gathers the talents of a hundred schools of thought..." There are also some people who refute it.
When I heard this, many nodded.
"...That's right, don't forget that Zhenren Zhang's current limelight has surpassed the momentum of Confucianism. If I don't have any achievements or some things, I'm afraid it will be a comparison for Taoism..." Another person also spoke.
As soon as these words were said, there was a silence. Today's Confucianism has a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. There are barbarians who are forced to do so outside, and there are Taoist competitions within.
The Han Du still remained silent and allowed these people to quarrel. The reason for the quarrel was nothing more than what latitude and longitude the emperor suddenly wanted to do. To determine the geography of the world, he would use a huge amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources. The "Western School" scenery seemed to be a little dim.
The emperor praised Xu Guangqi, the "Western school"... Many people think that the emperor is abolishing Confucianism and promoting the barbarians. Many people think that the opportunity has come and are preparing to use this excuse to find the emperor to make trouble, to give the emperor some good looks, to regain the previous confidence and style, and to regain the time when all the civil servants have the final say.
Han Dong kept listening, and didn't want to argue with these people, nor did he want to say anything more. Some things are not as simple as saying, nor are they just thinking about it casually. Even these rhetorics are all "clichés". They are not novel or useless, they are not worthy of anything he argues for, nor are they worthy of what he says.
Not to mention that Han Yu himself is an "imperial party". He has a close relationship with the emperor. With the many inside stories about the emperor he knows, he will not easily participate in the activities that those people say to make the emperor look good. So what if the emperor is really deposed?
Now the emperor is pressing the Confucianism with a soft knife. Confucianism is a dilemma. It is just the emperor's words.
Whether the people in the world are good or bad things, the Scholars have not yet competed for a win or lose, and the things that make everyone in the world have been going on slowly. In this way, the emperor has already removed himself from the vortex of abolishing Confucianism and is basically invincible. For the emperor, whether to abolish Confucianism or not, there is basically no pressure for the emperor. Adding some weight on the other end is enough to make everyone trouble.
Whether it is advance or retreat, the emperor is free to advance and retreat, but what about Confucianism? Advance is like Xu Guangqi, learning to absorb the nutrition of the Western world or hundreds of schools of thought for one's own use, and expanding the scope of Confucianism will lead to new Confucianism such as Confucian craftsmanship, Confucian businessmen, Confucian generals, etc. The Confucian thoughts and theories will probably undergo a huge change, and the old Confucianism that follows will be greatly impacted.
If retreating, the saint's concept is destroyed. The sacredness and accuracy of the saint, including the insurmountable nature of Confucian classics, etc. collapsed. The saint will no longer be a saint respected by the people of the world, and will no longer be a master of all ages. Confucianism may even have no legal principles for governing the world. This will be a huge impact on Confucianism or Confucians.
Many people are unwilling to be too much impact, which is closely related to their own interests; but there are also many people who are unwilling to see the collapse of Confucian ideas, which is undoubtedly a huge blow. The collapse of decades of ideas is undoubtedly even more unacceptable.
Arguments are inevitable.
Han Yu tried hard to cheer up. When a person got old, his energy was always insufficient. Whether to abolish Confucianism or to promote new Confucianism was not a difficult thing for him to decide whether to support or oppose the emperor.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Han Du sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts and prepared to say something.
"... Everyone's words are also understood..." Han Du sorted out his words and began to summarize the meeting. He said almost all of them "clichés" with no novelty. He was nothing more than the emperor's wise and believed in the emperor's words.
"... Master, let me say something very disrespectful..."
Everyone looked in the voice, and a face with a ferocious expression gritted their teeth and said, through the words, everyone shivered in their hearts.
"…Oh…” Han Yu said oh, a little dissatisfied with someone interrupting him.
"...To be very disrespectful, Master, the strange things happening in the Ming Dynasty are almost supported by His Majesty's own prestige. If His Majesty is unable to support it, or his prestige is damaged, then many things may not be necessary..." This person almost said gritting his teeth.
Everyone was in a striking mood. This was a bit too much and a bit ruthless.
Han Dong even had a strife in his heart. Judging from this, it seemed that it was not an easy thing.
"...Gei Master, now all things are supported by Your Majesty's invincibility and his consistent correct prestige. If Your Majesty will make mistakes and fail, then his Majesty will definitely be damaged. Many things will not be able to support you. Otherwise, if you keep allowing Your Majesty's prestige to continue to grow, it may not be a good thing for us as ministers..., I have to be careful about Taizu's affairs back then..." This person could be said to be gritting his teeth.
Han Du made a sudden striking in his heart. He said this very much, almost to pull him into the water. Han Du's heart couldn't help but tighten.
To ruin Your Majesty’s prestige? Where to ruin it? Needless to say, the word His Majesty’s saint is the first to add to the emperor.
Nowadays, there seem to be many great things that the emperor is doing. For example, immigration, but is it easy to get rid of? It seems not easy. The imperial envoys of the immigrants, emperors, nobles, and others, then, but one side elected an imperial envoy. Although the two deputy envoys were not as prominent as Xu Guangqi, they also had great achievements and merits. The future is also bright. Isn’t it impossible to get rid of this matter with them? Isn’t it impossible to get rid of this matter with them? Besides, the rise of "immigration" officials is recognized by everyone. Who would be unable to get rid of the future stars in the officialdom in the future? What about the relationship between them? After all, what is the consequence of the bad case? How likely is it to win?
To ruin the war in the north? This is also a major event at hand by the emperor, which demonstrates the emperor's martial arts. It will definitely be a big blow to the emperor. But the consequences of the incident will not talk about the big problem of the Eastern Lu Tai, nor will the Mongols. Just talk about his student Yuan Chonghuan, and Han Yu was the first to stand up and refuse to agree. He and Yuan Chonghuan were both prosperous and both rich. He was full and shot himself in the foot.
Bad study and school management? When Han Yu thought of this, he had a headache. As soon as the emperor's millions of taels of silver was released, he immediately recruited a lot of old Confucian scholars, old scholars, and old teachers who were busy for school management. They may not have very high officials in the officialdom, and may not have many officials, but their energy in the scholars was not ordinary, either high reputation, or had many disciples under their name. It is really not to be underestimated.
These people may not be able to be officials, but they are not inferior to anyone at all. If you want to ruin this, you have to quarrel with them and quarrel with them. Whether in traditional silence or in the newspaper, it is almost impossible to beat them.
There is even more headache. In the past, when dealing with the emperor, civil officials always had to find a point in the commanding heights of morality and use the world's audio-visual public opinion to restrict the emperor. But now, the emperor supports them in running schools and education and realizes the ideals of saints. If they turn the gun against the emperor, it is almost impossible. Even if they deal with the emperor, they will deal with whom. If they lack them in the sect, they will not be a solid piece. If they rely on this to restrict the emperor, they will almost dream. It would be great if they don't turn the gun against the emperor.
It seemed that only a moment later, Han Yu had these things passed by in his mind, and he concluded that it was not easy to deal with the emperor, and there seemed to be no chance of winning against the emperor, so he would just be a royal party honestly. In the court, inside and outside, it seemed that they were all the emperor's people, and he didn't need to turn himself into an enemy of these people.
It seemed that in just a moment, everyone had passed the tricks of how to deal with the emperor in their minds. Everyone's eyes lit up a little, and they instantly became dimmed.
"Mr. Wang, you have ulterior motives..." Someone immediately stood up and scolded this man with a ferocious face.
"...That is, Lord Wang, Your Majesty is the Son of the Ming Dynasty, and you are loved by all the people of the world. Are you kind to your heart?" Someone immediately joined the slander.
"Okay, let's not say much about this topic..." Han Yu immediately spoke out to stop it. These words were indeed very out of line and might even cause unnecessary trouble.
The hideous official seemed to want to say something.
"...Your Majesty will not abolish Confucianism, otherwise, he would not have spent millions of dollars to run a school every year..." Seeing that the person was still about to speak, Han Dong immediately suppressed the person's words. As soon as he said this, Han Dong felt speechless. The emperor seemed to be promoting Confucianism, but everyone knows that this is definitely not promoting Confucianism, but it is definitely taking the life of Confucianism.
"...Ge Lao, this is not what it is like to promote Confucianism. This is simply a cup of poison, a cup of poison that will die if you drink it. This is tearing apart my Confucianism with school..." The hideous official said gritting his teeth.
Everyone was silent for a while. This question was indeed a very practical question and a question that had no disputes. Everyone can think of the consequences of this question. But can they say it out loud?
"...Your Majesty will definitely have a reason for doing this. In the future, everyone will definitely understand Your Majesty's intention. With Your Majesty's wiseness, you will not do anything that will harm my Ming Dynasty or China. Don't worry, with Your Majesty's wiseness, this matter will only be revealed until the truth is revealed..." Han Yu said this without thinking, which was helpless. With his wisdom and relationship with the emperor, he could not understand how the emperor thought about this matter, nor did he understand what circle the emperor was going on, nor did he understand the emperor's purpose.
Everyone was speechless, including the hideous man. He had experienced such things for a long time, and they were almost the same...
"...Gei Master, everyone, don't forget about Taizu..., let's wait..." the hideous man said again.
"...Okay, don't talk about this matter anymore. Your Majesty has always been wise, kind, and is not bloody. Don't talk about such unreasonable speculation..." Han Du said with an angry look on his face.
This statement was immediately unanimously agreed by everyone. The emperor was indeed very kind and did not kill himself, and he didn't even have a scepter. The strange impression of the emperor being easy to speak has always been deeply engraved in everyone's impression.
The hideous man was also suffocated. Seeing Han Du showing anger, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing that the rebound was suppressed, Han Yu felt relieved. Now the emperor's actions were getting bigger and bigger. He had to and obliged to suppress these remarks for the emperor, but just as the hideous official said, it was almost supported by the emperor's prestige alone, and it looked overwhelming! But when he thought that the civil servants' waists were now discounted, Han Yu became calm again.
...
On a teahouse.
Many Confucian scholars were talking about the matter of longitude and longitude, and also discussing the matter of abolishing Confucianism and new Confucianism. There were also many intense words among them.
A man wearing a hat and surrounded by a scarf on the edge of the hat was sitting in a corner of the teahouse. It seemed that a man who had just returned from outside the pass was quietly listening to the arguments of Confucian scholars.
It is said to be quiet, but if you look carefully, you will find that the person is trembling slightly. Obviously, there is a fierce conflict in his heart. This person is Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi. At this time, there is only one sentence in his mind: The descendants of Saint Kong enslave and exploit the saint's disciples...!~!
