Chapter 136 The Birth of New Neo-Confucianism

For example, the Qian family of Wu and Yue, a scholarly family from generation to generation, is also a surname that cannot be avoided in the history of Chinese science.

Scientific research itself requires many high-quality talents.

If the literati group opposes science, where will Zhu Qizhen find talents?

Some talents from craftsmen may not be able to do it. Even if they don’t talk about education issues, they only talk about base issues. How many talents can become talents among craftsmen and how many people can read, but this is not a problem in the literati group.

If you really want to say it in detail, there are endless benefits.

Zhu Qizhen was ecstatic. He had not had such joy for a long time. The last time he was probably in the Battle of Yanran, which defeated the main force of Wastu in one fell swoop. Even the Battle of Langshan could not give Zhu Qizhen too much joy.

After all, Zhu Qizhen was expected to fight in Annan. Victory is just a matter of time.

Zhu Qizhen put down the Tianli Jue and said, "Where is Mr. Wu?"

"It should be in Beijing," said Wyen.

Zhu Qizhen said, "Send an order to invite Mr. Wu to hold a lecture on the sutra. No, you go and invite him in person."

Huaien hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, this is not great, Mr. Wu is still white."

Zhu Qizhen said, "I want you to talk nonsense."

Naturally, Huai'en didn't dare to speak, so he immediately went to ask Wu and Bi not to talk.

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew Huai'en's idea, and the imperial lecture was to teach the emperor. Speaking of which, Zhu Qizhen had not held a imperial lecture for a long time.

First of all, Zhu Qizhen did not think that the emperor's teachings by these Confucian ministers were in line with the present, and in line with Zhu Qizhen's thoughts.

Secondly, Zhu Qizhen is too busy.

The world is so big that things are complicated and it is very busy. In addition, Zhu Qizhen wants to implement reforms and is worried about problems in many things. Even if it is not done by itself, he still has to ask questions one by one.

I didn’t have a whole morning, but I heard people talk about Confucian classics.

Now that the reopening of the sutra is about not listening to Wu Yubi's theory, it is better to emphasize his appreciation of Wu Yubi.

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew that those who could serve as lecturers in the imperial examinations must be official, while Wu and Bi were white. Zhu Qizhen wanted to get it out of order, beyond the norm.

How to show respect for one thing is to show the difference.

It’s like Cao Cao’s backward steps to greet girls. Now the various routines of chasing girls are to express one purpose, that is, you are mine. All the rules can be broken in front of you.

Zhu Qizhen has been familiar with this routine for a long time.

Huai'en went to invite Wu and Bi. Knowing that Wu and Bi were in Zunhua, he naturally went to invite him.

At this moment, the article by Wu and Bi has been spread in the court.

Liu Dingzhi also saw the retribution for heaven at this moment, and he thought carefully and frowned slightly.

There is a saying that people take things before they are born for granted and accept things after they become adults calmly, but when they are middle-aged and elderly, they are often disliked when facing new things.

And now Liu Dingzhi is like this.

Liu Dingzhi was not a Neo-Confucianist.

He is essentially a bureaucrat.

Confucianism is just a brick he used to knock on the door.

There are two reasons why he disliked this theory. He instinctively felt that this theory was a bit strange and was somewhat dissonant with Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism.

Although he couldn't say anything disharmonious.

From this point of view, Liu Dingzhi's cultivation in Confucianism was much better than Zhu Qizhen.

Scientific theory is derived from various Western philosophy. For example, Confucianism has inconsistent aspects at the genetic level. Wu and Bi have various integrations now, but in fact, there are places where they change concepts and make excuses.

However, because Wu and Bi himself have high Confucianism and strong writing skills, he can make up for his own opinions, which makes Liu Dingzhi unable to find any flaws.

But sometimes, some truths seem to be very correct, and you can't find the problem. Many times you instinctively feel that it is wrong. This is what Liu Dingzhi feels now.

Furthermore, Liu Dingzhi knew that this theory would definitely be supported by Zhu Qizhen.

In this way, Belin's title could not be stopped.

If you can't stop it, that's fine.

It was just an exception. The Sun family was awarded a title, and Liu Dingzhi did not try his best to stop him, and fought against the empress dowager desperately. However, what the emperor wanted was probably not an exception, but a set of rules.

But the upper class of the Ming Dynasty was such a big cake, and it was enough to have civil servants and nobles and relatives to divide it. Should there be a special aristocratic class?

However, Liu Dingzhi thought about it and said to himself: "Isn't this a question that Guo Deng needs to think about?"

At this moment, he even felt a little gloating in his heart. Because he knew that the emperor had an amazing influence on the noble group. It can be said that even if Guo Deng was reluctant, he could not say the word "no" in the face of the emperor's will.

There is no problem for civil servants to resist the emperor, and the emperor can be favored, but it will be a death for the nobles to do this.

Soon even Belin saw this article.

Belin is also a scholar.

Although he has read astronomy books since he was a child and he is considered to be from an astronomical family, it would be wrong to say that he has not read Confucian classics.

Most children use three thousand and thousands of children to read the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects of Confucius" even if they fail to take the imperial examination.

After reading this article, Belin's rectification was very serious. He felt inexplicably in his heart. He felt a sense of inexplicableness. Belin couldn't explain anything clearly, it seemed to be a sense of sacredness, and it seemed to be a feeling of enlightenment. He thought to himself: "So what I did is so great?"

Belin had been in charge of the steam engine development before, and she didn't feel anything. This was just a job, just like the Four Seas Survey Plan and compiling the "Orthodox Calendar", and she didn't feel anything.

No. It's even worse than both.

Nothing else, as an astronomer, Belin had a sense of mission to re-edit the calendar since he was a child. Practicing a complete calendar is the ultimate ideal of almost all astronomers.

So, when doing these things, Belin has a sense of mission.

When he was transferred to develop the steam engine, Belin simply classified this matter as the emperor's order.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

At this moment, Wu Yubi raised this matter to verifying the laws of nature and practicing the laws of nature. He immediately had a sense of mission filled Belin's mind. He was in his sixties, and Belin even had the urge to work hard, trying hard to do this matter well.

At this moment, Belin's disciples also surrounded him and asked, "Master, do you think Mr. Wu is right?"

These disciples of Belin have also said before that they are all craftsmen. They may have specialties in some places, such as mathematics. However, they do not have much knowledge in Confucianism. However, literacy is absolutely true.

When they saw Wu Yubi's article, they actually couldn't understand it at all.

After all, people who do not have a little Confucian foundation cannot even understand some of the words and sentences of Wu and Bi.

Belin looked at these people and saw a pair of hopeful eyes. He immediately understood something.

Although these people have improved the society and local governments under some policies of the emperor, and have some generous treatment, the material and spiritual treatment have not been improved.

The scholars and officials who control the entire Ming Dynasty should look down on them or look down on them.

But now Wu and Bi's words show that they are part of Neo-Confucianism and practice the way of Neo-Confucianism. With Wu and Bi's status, they are affirming what they do.

This can affect the status of their society.

Don't underestimate them. Even if their treatment has improved, the younger generations are looking for marriage among craftsmen. Many poor scholars are unwilling to marry them.

Now if what Wu and Bi are right, these juniors can get married to many scholars and officials, which is the direct impact.

The same is true for Belin. He is no longer a messenger, but a great scholar.

This social status is completely different.

At this moment, Belin instantly figured it out that it was not important whether what Wu and Bi said was correct or not. What was important was that they needed these words to be correct.

Beilin said: "Yes, what Mr. Wu said is right. I will stop all the work in my hands today and follow me to see Mr. Wu."

"Yes." The disciples said loudly. They also wanted to hear what Mr. Wu said.

Beilin decided to join Wu and Bi's disciple, and would rather be a lackey under Mr. Wu.
