After Zhu Houzhao yawned and said "retreat the court", the ministers withdrew from the Ganqing Palace one after another. In addition to the cabinet ministers and the eunuchs of the Silijian, Wang Yangming remained in the hall and was ordered to listen to Zhu Houzhao's arrangements about the construction of the Capital University.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Yangming, who was thirty-three years old.

This was the first time Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Yangming. Although he had asked Wang Yangming to do a few things for him, he still looked at himself with boiling water at this moment.

Zhu Houzhao saw Wang Yangming's long face and goat whiskers. His eyes were indeed bright and energetic, but he did not have the appearance of a saint who had a great enlightenment. It seemed that there was a bit of ignorance between his eyebrows that was ignorant of the world.

Wang Yangming was also looking at Zhu Houzhao. On the surface, the Zhu Houzhao he saw was just a young man with a white face and a light-faced look, but why did his eyes seem to have a hint of meticulousness, and even looking at him had a hint of scrutiny and solemnity.

Zhu Houzhao knew that Wang Yangming had not experienced Liu Jin's grief, nor had he attained enlightenment through the Dragon Field, and could understand that he had not yet become worldly and cunning.

However, when Wang Yangming saw Zhu Houzhao, he felt even more suspicious. He thought to himself what kind of worldly difficulties this young emperor, who was good at the deep palace, had such a thorough analysis of the people in this society, was full of struggle in an outline of governing the country, was so bad and cruel to his political enemies, and had such a heavy desire to protect himself, and even did not hesitate to punish the ten clans!

"Can my father's death really make a person grow up quickly? I, Wang Yangming, have not realized the truth for a long time? Is it because no close relatives at home have passed away, and I don't know how many years my father can live, and how many years I will have to be confused and ignorant."

Wang Yangming couldn't help but think about it.

"Wang Shouren!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted casually.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Yangming also shouted at the same time.

"You talk first." Zhu Houzhao gave Wang Yangming a lot of face and stretched out his hand.

"Please tell me first, Your Majesty asked me to stay," Wang Yangming replied.

Zhu Houzhao nodded after hearing this: "Do you know what kind of university I want to build? Or can you tell me why you suddenly recommended yourself just now and were willing to be the sacrificial tribute to the Beijing University?"

"I first report to Your Majesty's second question. I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I just saw that no one dared to recommend himself. Therefore, I recommended myself. I thanked Your Majesty for his kindness and Jian Ba ​​was a lecturer in Hanlin. However, I am not a Shujishi, so I really can't be a Hanlin poet. Now I see Your Majesty wanting to change the Leopard Room to a university. I have to study in the Leopard Room by Your Majesty, and now I am just going back to continue my studies."

Wang Yangming replied truthfully.

Zhu Houzhao originally thought that Wang Yangmingzhen was very different from other people in this era. Once he proposed to build a university, people like him who had great luck should immediately understand their purpose.

Now, Zhu Houzhao realized that even a genius of this era would require time to guide him.

"Since that's the case, tell me your understanding," Zhu Houzhao said.

"According to the order! According to my understanding, universities are the learning of adults, that is, they are not enlightened by children, but are the learning of those who seek learning," Wang Yangming replied.

Zhu Houzhao walked to Wang Yangming and gave Wang Yangming a booklet about "The Holy Ordinance of the Plan to Build the Capital University": "While reading it, I heard me say that what you said is almost what I mean, but not all of it. Although the university I want to build is not a place where children can understand the text, it is also an enlightenment, and a new idea of ​​enlightenment!

The so-called greatness of the Peking University should not only be the place where there are years of learning, but also the place where all the knowledge in the world is gathered and studied. It is not only to study, but also to apply what you have learned, and to open up new knowledge. I decided to temporarily divide Peking University into four subjects: arts, science, engineering, and medicine, and expand it later. As for the meaning of these four subjects, I have explained it above, so you can take a closer look at it yourself;

Now you want to build this Beijing University for me for the Ming Dynasty. How to rebuild a leopard house is not very important. What is more important is to find these four subjects immediately, so you can apply to me as professors at the Beijing University. Whether they were peddlers or nobles before, as long as they are talented and virtuous in a certain aspect, they can be recruited."

Professors already had such an official position in the Ming Dynasty, but the meaning was different from later generations. Later professors were more equivalent to doctors in ancient times. However, in order to avoid confusion with the Imperial College, Zhu Houzhao also gave the official position of university teachers a professor. As for the specific level of university teachers in the future, he can only talk about it later.

Wang Yangming read Zhu Houzhao's booklet and heard Zhu Houzhao say it, but before he could speak, the chief assistant Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, you are trying to promote miscellaneous learning to benefit the hundreds of schools. But since Emperor Wu recommended the Kong family in the Han Dynasty, he suppressed the hundreds of schools and achieved great success. Emperor Wu became the emperor of the ages. Since His Majesty wanted to achieve the great cause of the emperor, why did he promote the hundred schools without expressing the Six Classics?"

"After Emperor Wu of Han respects Confucianism alone and abolishes all schools of thought, did the Han Dynasty decline because of this?" Zhu Houzhao asked, and Ma Wensheng replied: "My history is limited, and I don't know what is the relationship between this and the supremacy of Confucianism alone?"

"Let me say that, I have not betrayed the Confucius family's learning. In fact, the Confucian learning has changed a lot since now. But I cannot just raise one Confucianism and suppress hundreds of schools. It is like people cannot just be wise and have to be able to dress and eat, or even drive a car and horse. There are hundreds of crafts in society, and there are naturally hundreds of studies. If I want to have a prosperous era in my Ming Dynasty, I have to let all the flowers in the world of academic research bloom. Buddhism, Taoism and even Jesus of Taixi can tolerate it. Why can't other miscellaneous studies tolerate it? Those who can benefit the empire are good knowledge!"

After Zhu Houzhao said this, Ma Wensheng had no choice but to reply: "Remember the sages!"

In fact, to respect Confucianism alone is the only way for the emperor rulers to maintain their own will. In the Ming Dynasty, which was not ruled by foreign races, neither the officials in the court nor the people in the world could conquer their thoughts and accept different voices. As long as Zhu Houzhao could not touch their most fundamental interests, it would not matter what the emperor believed in and played.

Wang Yangming also replied at this time: "Your Majesty's meaning is fully understood. I wonder if Your Majesty has a holy edict?"

"I only have one requirement. The purpose of the Peking University is to be inclusive and inclusive! Allow different voices within the university, as long as they do not violate the laws and do not intend to overthrow the dynasty. The sea is tolerant and tolerant, and a hundred flowers should bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Jiao Fang, who was present, couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty's mind is beyond my reach!"

Wang Yangming nodded at this time and said, "I remember your Majesty's decree, please rest assured. I will definitely build such a university!"
Chapter completed!
