Chapter 207 Mutual benefit and win-win
"What's wrong?" Liu Che didn't care. "It's just a lecture on the "Reading Book", not a teacher who started a sect."
"Since I respect Confucianism alone, some Confucian scholars have done a little too much because of my favor."
"I can't denounce it to them in public. I just took advantage of the opportunity when my husband entered the Imperial Academy to give lectures to some people sober and not to be whimsical."
Tang Qi was speechless for a while.
Emperor Wu of Han was very clear about his meaning.
He respects Confucianism because he is easy to use, rather than really believing in Confucianism.
To put it bluntly, Confucianism serves the imperial power!
Now, a group of Confucian scholars represented by Gongyang Ru and wanted to use Confucianism to impose some rules and regulations on the emperor, but it was beyond Liu Che's patience.
In addition, during this period, due to the dominance of Confucianism, the academic community has been suppressing theories of various schools of thought, even more excessive than before Huang Lao.
This also aroused the disgust of many students of other theories.
The unpopular schools such as the Mohist school are fine, and there are many old ministers and royal families who believe in Huang Lao.
These people protested in front of Liu Che, which would still cause a headache for the emperor.
In turn, he suppressed Confucianism and supported schools such as Huang-Lao and Legalism, and his reaction was slightly excessive.
Then it is a good idea to promote a doctor who does not belong to Confucianism, but does not belong to any school. He only wrote a wealthy book and entered the Imperial Academy.
Tang Qi didn't know why? Emperor Wu of Han was using him as a gun again.
But for him, it was not completely unhelpful.
The scholars of the Western Han Dynasty wanted a future, military merit, and fame, and they could not lack any.
For example, Gongsun Hong was able to get the position of prime minister, so he was highly respected and a famous Confucian scholar, but the old man also had military achievements!
When this person was in middle age, he was ordered by Liu Che to go to the Huns. Although the final result was not ideal, the people who could go to the Huns at this time were all ruthless people!
Although this amount of military merit is still a little less valuable than that of a real military general and a prefect of the border county.
But his academic achievements can be completely compensated!
The leader of Gongyang Ru in the world, besides Dong Zhongshu, who improved Confucianism for the emperor, became more in line with the needs, was the powerful Gongsun Hong.
The path Liu Che has arranged for Tang Qi now is to follow Gongsun Hong's path.
During the battle of Juyongguan, although Tang Qi was more responsible for logistics, he could also be considered as making military achievements.
But if you want to be the prime minister for military merits, just like the current Censor and the recognized future Prime Minister Li Cai, the military merits of the marginal OB are too light.
If the main attack on military achievements, even if we cannot make the contributions like Wei Qing, we must at least lead the army alone to fight to achieve a great victory, just like Cheng Bushi and Li Guang.
Of course, the record cannot be like Li Guang.
Of course, Liu Che was reluctant to let Tang Qi fight to the death.
The only way to worship the minister is to be a minister is to strive for academic achievements!
Appointing Tang Qi as a doctor is also part of it.
Now Tang Qi has created the "Reading Book" himself, and the ideological and theories in it are unheard of. It can be said that it is an open-minded world.
That would be even better!
Let the "Reader" spread throughout the world as much as possible, and then create a character for Tang Qi who is knowledgeable and has a character. As his qualifications increase, his influence will naturally increase.
The Avenue of Light that leads to the Prime Minister can already be seen!
Of course, according to Liu Che's original idea, he hoped that Tang Qi could learn Confucianism and become a new generation of Confucian scholars in the court.
Unfortunately, Tang Qi himself did not express that considering that the "Immortal Sect" can also be regarded as a master's sect, it is difficult to force it.
Liu Che did not hide these ideas from Tang Qi, and had already hinted from Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang countless times.
Tang Qi was also mentally prepared for this, but he didn't expect to come so early.
"Sir, how are you thinking?" Liu Che asked, "If sir really doesn't want to, I can think of other solutions."
I have to say that judging from the emperor's identity, Liu Che really devoted all his patience to Tang Qi.
I almost never gave orders, all of which were suggestions and inquiries.
If it weren't for this, Gongsun Hong wouldn't have been full and competed for favor with a 20-year-old young man...
Tang Qi thought about it and felt that things were not as troublesome as he thought. And if he could promote some basic and practical scientific common sense in the Western Han Dynasty, it would be very useful for himself and the times.
So I agreed, but just put forward a condition.
"I can go to the Imperial Academy to give lectures, but I will not hold classes specifically because I am not a lecturer."
"When I have the interest to give a lecture, I will give lectures at the Imperial Academy in the form of an open class, and no one can listen to the lecture."
"But this kind of open class is not very specific, but it is taught once a while, and your Majesty may agree?"
Tang Qi did not intend to promote systematic scientific education in the Western Han Dynasty, but instead split it up and slowly talked about it in a piecemeal way through modifications that conform to the times.
This move not only does not delay popular science, but also can easily reduce the vigilance of Confucianism and imperial power.
After all, the scientific outlook in the education of the Celestial Empire not only has methods, but also includes a complete world view and life values.
The former may be fine, but the latter two are one of the most important things in establishing a school!
Why did Confucianism and Taoism stand out from the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought, and were able to compete for both feet in the Western Han Dynasty, and even later Confucianism won the final victory.
It is all because it is the earliest improvement in the construction of worldviews such as the interpretation of the universe, the world, the relationship between people, and the relationship between people, and the ability to continuously improve according to the development of the conditions of the guest.
Compared with Confucianism, which is still developing, the dialectical materialism, dialectical historical view, etc. contained in the scientific view that Tang Qi learned.
Once released, it will be a king bomb - either you or me!
The most important thing is that another essence of science is materialism!
That is - atheism!
It is simply a big killing weapon against imperialism and feudalism. When I took it out at this time, I was really afraid that Emperor Wu of Han’s beheading knife would not be sharp.
There is nothing to say except seeking death!
Tang Qi's concerns about the times changed to Liu Che's ears.
It became a fear of Confucianism and Confucian scholars.
"It seems that I have to hit them..."
Liu Che made a secret decision.
At the same time, there was no objection to Tang Qi's proposal: "It would be better if this was not set as a permanent course in the Imperial Academy, and those old people could have nothing to say!"
So, things were settled.
Tang Qi, the Hou of Anding, will hold an open class in the Imperial Academy and teach the news of "Reading Book" spreading in Chang'an City like a plague.
The people just watched the excitement and praised the crowd, "The Hou of Stable is really both literary and military."
