The study room of Qianqing Palace in the Imperial Palace of Beijing.
Emperor Hongzhi sat in his seat, holding a book of all peoples in his hand, and then looked at the pile of memorials next to him that was taller than a person. He was thinking slightly, thinking carefully in his mind.
Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others sitting on the stools next to them were also thinking hard, guessing the thoughts and thoughts of Emperor Hongzhi.
The matter got bigger and bigger. It was just a very small matter at first, but I didn't expect that it has now reached the point where it is difficult to deal with.
On one side were the scholars from the Imperial College, as well as the Confucian scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty, and officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty. They wrote a letter asking Emperor Hongzhi to order the closure of the new school.
"I believe that this new school that does not teach the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, nor the teachings of the Classics of Confucianism, is misleading people. At the same time, it is the beginning of harming the country and the people, shaking the country and the country. Putting the cart before the horse, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos in the future.
On the other side are the people in the Beijing-Tianjin area. They submitted the Wanmin Book to Emperor Hongzhi. They support the new school and think the new school is very good.
My family still has books to read, so I can read and read, and I can master some basic life knowledge and skills, and I can also understand some principles of life and doing things.
The quarrel between the two sides has become more and more intense, so much so that now factories, workshops, and firms in the Beijing-Tianjin area have been implicated. Workers have gone on strike, and a large number of factories, workshops, and firms have stopped working, causing heavy losses.
Emperor Hongzhi looked left and right. If it were in the past, he would definitely listen to the civil servants, and whatever the civil servants said would be whatever they said. However, after experiencing several things over the years, Emperor Hongzhi had also clearly seen what the civil servants said. With their facial expressions, it¡¯s clear what kind of piss-poor these civil servants are.
Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi would take the words of the civil servants as a reference, but he would not listen to them all. Instead, he would have his own ideas and opinions. In addition, through the power of factory guards, Emperor Hongzhi would know more things.
"There are many things that the civil servants below can no longer hide from him. They see things more comprehensively. Naturally, they do things completely differently from before.
Emperor Hongzhi went to see whether this new school was good or not, and the factory guards also conducted a detailed investigation. Emperor Hongzhi knew the purpose, teaching content and ideas of the new school very clearly.
The students trained by this new school are also different from the students trained by traditional private schools. They do not take the imperial examinations, but work in factories, workshops, firms, etc.
Students in these new schools may not be able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, the true meanings of the philosophers, etc., but the knowledge and skills they have mastered are very suitable for work, workshops, businesses, etc. .
With a little training, you will be able to adapt quickly and do quite well.
As for some officials criticizing Liu Jin, they spent their own money to run schools, which was a profound conspiracy.
This is obviously an attack on Liu Jin for his evil intentions, seeking to usurp the throne through running a school and overthrowing the old Zhu family.
But Emperor Hongzhi would not believe this at all. He knew Liu Jin¡¯s character very well, and since ancient times, would someone who had tried to usurp the throne run a school?
And even if you just run a school, you still have to sing praises to the current emperor in the school every day and ask everyone to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?
If this is the case, then Liu Jin is probably the stupidest careerist in history. How can anyone who seeks to usurp the throne still praise the emperor today and ask everyone to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?
After eliminating these miscellaneous things, the rest is simple.
Emperor Hongzhi saw it clearly at once. Through the superficial appearance of this new school and traditional private schools, what he saw was essentially the fear of the dominant Confucianism in the face of the newly rising ideology and culture.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and hundreds of schools of thought were dazzling. However, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Confucianism began to flourish. Over the past year or so, it gradually formed a situation where it now dominates the entire thought, spirit, and education.
The emperors take turns, but no matter who comes to power, they must use their Confucian people to govern the world, and they must use their Confucian ideas to manage the people.
The emergence of new-style schools is actually not just about not teaching Confucian classics, but more importantly, the new ideas represented by new-style schools. Once they develop and grow, they will shake the dominance of Confucianism in the future.
This is why Confucianism is so excited this time.
After thinking about this clearly, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile.
Last time I realized the importance of balance.?Something really big is going to happen.
What¡¯s more, there are indeed many things worth promoting and affirming in new-style schools. Reading, literacy, and acquisition of knowledge and skills are in themselves good things. Right and wrong must be clearly distinguished, and good and bad things must be clearly distinguished.
Of course, as the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian also knows very well that Emperor Hongzhi's current attitude is that enough is enough, and it's almost done.
¡°Of course it¡¯s not just Emperor Hongzhi, but also the industrial bosses like them. Everyone¡¯s factories, workshops, trading houses, ships, etc. must continue to make money. Every day of shutdown means a day of loss.
"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Liu said is true~"
Li Dongyang stood up and stated that this method of handling is more appropriate.
"I also think that what Liu Gong said is true~"
Zhang Mao, Xie Qian and others also stood up and expressed their opinions one after another, and did what Liu Jian said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
