Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 844, it's time for you to take care of yourself
Hearing the words of British Duke Zhang Mao, Wang Jia didn't know how to reply for a while.

What is the use of reading the Four Books and Five Classics if you are not preparing for the imperial examination?

It's better to learn some practical things, and you can find a good job in the future and have the skills to make a living.

But reading, reading, since it is reading, you should read the Four Books and Five Classics, and respect the principles of Confucius and Mencius. The reason why Confucianism has been able to rule China for so long is that they have monopolized education.

The emergence of this new type of school now makes them feel very uneasy, because the phenomenon of Confucian monopoly on education is very likely to be broken.

Once the education monopoly is broken, the future status of Confucianism will be worrying. Maybe they will not take the imperial examination now, but it will continue for a long time.

Under this kind of education, all kinds of talents will inevitably be born. Naturally, they will not be willing not to participate in politics. They will inevitably gradually change the current situation where Confucianism is dominant. By then, Confucianism will still be able to maintain its current status?
"Even if you don't take the imperial examination, how can you not learn the Confucian classics?"

"If you don't learn, it's hard to understand things, understand right and wrong, know how to teach, and don't know the great wisdom of the sages. Although these heretical ways have some usefulness, they are all trivial ways and are worthless. How can you put a lot of energy on the trivial ways? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the opening of such schools should be strictly prohibited. If there are more such schools and more students are taught, in the long run, this will inevitably lead to the prosperity of heretics, and my Confucianism will change. If things go on like this, people will People value profit and forget righteousness, take crooked paths and ignore righteous paths.”

"According to the time, the country will be destroyed, the country will be in turmoil, the country will be in turmoil, the people will be miserable, and the people will be in dire straits!"

The more Wang Jia said, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help shaking.

Today, for the sake of Confucianism, he also went all out. He saw the turmoil in the status of Confucianism in the future, and saw the prosperity of heretical sects in the future, while Confucianism was gradually forgotten by people.

Hearing Wang Jia's words, Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others all looked at Wang Jia in surprise. Is this Wang Jia lost his mind?

Liu Jin didn't offend you, run the school well, so that more children can go to school, just because there is no content in the Four Books and Five Classics, you have risen to this height?
What kind of country is not a country, the country is in turmoil, and the country is precarious?
Are people still living in dire straits and living in dire straits?
It is as if without your Confucianism, the whole thing will perish immediately.

This is no longer just to prevent the opening of such schools, but has risen to the point of attacking Liu Jin's personality, if Emperor Hongzhi really listened to his advice.

This cancels the school, and it is very likely that Liu Jin will be killed.

Because according to Wang Jia, Liu Jin's establishment of these schools is to shake the old Zhu's family, and it is to destroy the foundation that China has stood for thousands of years.

Too self-confident.

Although Confucianism has a high status, it never said that without you, the Ming Dynasty would perish.

"Wang Jia~"

The good-tempered Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being angry, and shouted loudly.

It is obviously a very good thing. Since ancient times, building bridges and paving roads, teaching and educating people are good things that have been passed down through the ages, but when it comes to you, a rotten scholar, it has completely changed its taste.

"Your Majesty, I'm admonishing you to death!"

Wang Jia knelt down immediately.

"If I remember correctly, you were born in the fifteenth year of Zhengtong (the first year of Jingtai, but Zhu Qizhen's descendants, everyone knows it), and you are already in your sixtieth year?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Jia, thought for a while, and said.

"The minister is indeed an orthodox fifteen-year-old man!"

Wang Jia nodded and said.

The year he was born is correct, but now he is only in his early fifties, far from sixty years old, but he immediately realized what Emperor Hongzhi meant by this.

"You are old, and it's time to go home to take care of yourself."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Jia, left a word indifferently, and walked away very unhappy.

Originally, I was very happy today. I went out to relax and see the school run by Liu Jin.

He felt that the school run by Liu Jin was very good. Children from ordinary families really didn't need to take the imperial examination or be an official. They could read and write and master some skills.

What's more, the school run by Liu Jin also promotes the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and highly respects the old Zhu's family. Everything is in line with Emperor Hongzhi's wishes.

Such a school is very meaningful, it is very helpful to promote the development of Daming, and it is also very helpful to consolidate the country of Lao Zhu's family.

But in Wang's eyes, because he didn't focus on teaching the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, he was dismissed as useless by Wang, and it even rose to the level of shaking the foundation of the country and ruining lives.

This is really too much.

There can be differences and disputes between each other, but such shameless slander and suppression made Emperor Hongzhi quickly realize an extremely serious problem.

In the imperial court, not only the civil and military disputes, but also the ideological and ideological disputes.

Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, starting from the Han Dynasty, Confucianism dominated. Confucianism held all the right to speak, and the emperors took turns to do so. However, the status of Confucianism has not only not been shaken in the slightest, but has become more and more firm.

As the emperor, I can replace batch after batch of courtiers, but when replaced with new courtiers, they are still all Confucianists.

Now that there are new and different schools that teach some knowledge and skills, the reaction of Confucianism is already so great, which shows how domineering Confucianism is.

Emperor Hongzhi walked away as usual, but also fell into deep thought.

The way of the emperor and the art of the emperor have been paying attention to a balance since ancient times, balancing the forces of all parties, balancing civil and military officials, and balancing the internal and external, but there is only one problem that is not aware of.

That is to balance this thought and concept. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, peasants, etc., all schools of thought were dazzling and dazzling.

But now, only the Confucian family is left alone.

The dynasties are constantly changing, and the emperors come and go, but they can't shake the dominant position of Confucianism. They are the real emperors in this land, and they have integrated their soul and bone marrow. No matter who they are, they cannot shake their status.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Emperor Hongzhi walked away in a huff, and Zhang Mao immediately followed him. He had already thought about it, and immediately wrote a letter to Liu Jin after returning. It's turned upside down.

It was obviously a good thing, but he said it as if it was going to bring disaster to the country and the people. If this matter were to die, Liu Jin would be criticized. At that time, there would be a mountain of memorials desperately impeaching and attacking Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was a big celebrity around Emperor Hongzhi, and he sat in his current position at a young age. Some people must be jealous, and some people must find ways to criticize Liu Jin.

Through such a thing, it can not only attack the emerging education, but also Liu Jin, and perhaps the emerging capitalism.

"Waiting for you to die, Wang Jia!"

Zhang Mao thought so in his heart.

If you offend Liu Jin, life will definitely not be easy.

And what's more critical is that now Emperor Hongzhi is extremely dissatisfied with Wang Jia, and he bluntly said that you should go home to take care of yourself, and that's what you said.

If he, Wang Jia, wanted to save face, he should take the initiative to write a dictionary, and then Emperor Hongzhi nodded and went home to retire.

However, Wang Jia has already achieved the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The six ministers are still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. They are in charge of officials all over the world.

Is he willing to go home and retire like this?
He is only in his early fifties now. For a person in this position, he is still very young. As long as someone retires, he still has a good chance to become a senior member of the cabinet.

"You, you~"

Liu Jian looked at Wang Jia and couldn't help shaking his head.

How could a person who was very smart in the past become confused about this matter.

Not to mention that Liu Jin is much more important than you in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, ten sentences you say are not as good as one sentence of Liu Jin.

What's more, Liu Jin is running a school, teaching and educating people. In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin is doing good deeds. He is rich and does not live a luxurious life. Instead, he is willing to spend a lot of money to run a school. Let the children of ordinary families be able to read and write.

Such a sentiment, such a noble pursuit, not only did you not affirm it, but you even criticized it, let alone criticizing, you have risen to the point where the country is in turmoil and the people are in dire straits.

Make mistakes again and again, and keep getting confused.

How could Emperor Hongzhi not be angry?
How many things Liu Jin has done for Emperor Hongzhi and Daming in the past few years, and Daming's current situation is not all due to Liu Jin's slowly driving it up.

Emperor Hongzhi was able to have money and control military power, the Ming Dynasty was able to expand its territories, and the entire Ming Dynasty was able to rely on maritime trade and overseas people to make a fortune. All these were not driven by Liu Jin.

Now it's all right, ready to go home and retire.

"My lord, you are confused!"

Liu Jian also shook his head slightly. What everyone said is good, you have to sing the opposite. The key is that you have to master the opposite. If you say something so serious, not only will it have no effect, but it will be extremely disgusting to everyone.

Emperor Hongzhi disliked you, and everyone actually disliked you too.

And because of Wang Jia's remarks, it is very likely to have a huge impact on Confucianism.

"Ah~"

Xie Qian also shook his head slightly and sighed.

There will be one less minister from the Jiangnan area in the imperial court, and I will be more cautious in the future.
