I am the king of the dead

Chapter 444 Mozi, a wiser sage than Confucius

To set up this Royal Society, the resistance from the top ten calendars will not be great.

First of all, the first obstacle is the issue of money. As the secretary of the household department, Jin Lian has a strong hamster temperament.

But he won't stand in the way of these things.

In fact, Jin Lian did not object to fixed salaries for officials, but Jin Lian opposed supplementary salaries for officials.

Jin Lian has never been stingy when it is time to spend money. Whether it is to suppress rebellion or establish a government office, he has never been stingy. That is why he is so stingy on weekdays.

Good steel is used on the blade, which is another characteristic of Jin Lian.

Shijing Factory, Shengzhou Factory, Maan Factory, and Jianghuai Factory, these official factories jointly operated by coal and steel, were strongly supported by Jin Lian, including Liuzhi Factory supervised by King Xiang in Guizhou. Jin Lian never made any reservations.

After the establishment of the Li Bureau, Dr. Li Bureau's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all provided by the imperial court to promote the development of productivity, which was also an important benevolence, righteousness and etiquette of the imperial court.

Zhu Qiyu's internal funds will also provide a large amount of money to reward those who have made contributions, and they can also give out extraordinary merit cards and first merit cards every year to reward ten subjects for study.

A sharp handle benefits life and death, food and clothing, honor and disgrace.

Another resistance must come from the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy.

Because after the establishment of the calendar bureau, there will inevitably be many doctors. These doctors were originally controlled by them, but now they are assigned to people with extraordinary skills. Of course, they will not be satisfied.

How can scholars be on an equal footing with these Guizhou chiefs?
But just like the miracle card in the hands of the Ming emperor, it is easy for craftsmen and soldiers to get it, but it is difficult for officials.

Honor and disgrace are also sharp handles.

The emperor is now in full swing. Their opposition must be well-founded, based on social phenomena, discover problems, find out the reasons, and propose feasible solutions to oppose. The threshold is actually very high, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

These are the rules of the game set by His Majesty.

It's okay to scold the king of subjugation, as long as the scolding is realistic, Zhu Qiyu will be happy.

The Royal Society of Ming Dynasty, according to Li Binyan's main idea, is that "degrees can bypass ten things", and first use arithmetic to calculate these.

And these ideas are very similar to the length of Zhongshan National Track in "Guanzi Collection School" compiled by Yu Qian and others in the court.

"Your Majesty, what about "Mozi"?" Although Hu Wei is old, he still responds quickly to the numerous court disputes.

"Healthy Way Hu Shangshu"

Hu Wei is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of the sacrificial ceremony. If the Calendar Bureau has to do it, there must be a sacrificial ceremony, so who will the sacrificial ceremony be?

In Hu Wei's mind, a person jumped out immediately, Mo Di, that is, Mo Zi.

Those who make sacrifices can include Zhang Heng, Zu Chongzhi, Li Chunfeng, Guo Shoujing, etc. They have made great contributions in calendar and arithmetic.

The person in charge can be Wu Jing, he is very proficient in arithmetic, and there are many talents in Ming Dynasty, these are easy to solve.

But the problem now is that worshiping Mo Di is not a problem, but what about "Mozi"?

Mo Di himself was one of the most holy teachers in the pre-Qin period, and he himself was like a saint all his life, practicing his own theory, and so were his successors, and even all Mohists.

This is a group of idealists, and they practice their ideals.

For example, the murderer is killed, and the wounded is punished.

There is an allusion that Fu killed his son. Ju Zifu of the Mo family had a son who was an official in Qin and killed someone by mistake. King Huiwen of Qin forgave Ju Zifu’s son, but Ju Zifu still said, Those who hurt others will die, and those who hurt others will be punished." King Qin Huiwen was not allowed to forgive him privately, and finally King Qin Huiwen had to execute Juzi's son.

Mohists, the law is impartial.

This is a story of righteousness and family extinction.

"Let's sacrifice the statue of Mo Zi, Mo Zi himself, I'm afraid he will be unhappy." Zhu Qiyu said helplessly.

Hu Yan said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, there are no disciples of the Mohist school now. Tai Shigong compiled the "Historical Records" and visited all the countries. There were less than 40 Mohists. In the end, he never wrote a biography for Mozi."

What Hu Wei was talking about was an old story, and he was talking about the Taishigong who compiled the historical records, but he couldn't find Mozi's successor.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the theory of Mozi had completely declined.

And this dialogue between Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei was not a Zen machine, but Mo Di himself and the theory of "Mozi", advocating "universal love", "non-attack", "evaluating the virtuous", "appreciating the same", "chaste "Yong", "Festival Burial", "Fei Le" and so on.

Among them is frugal burial, that is, no extravagance during life, no grand burial after death, no worship, let alone grandiose commemoration, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, death is death.

Compared to Confucianism...

Shandong ring vest is the best in the world, Qufu Confucian government has seven points!
Zhu Qiyu destroyed the Confucian Mansion Yanshenggong's family, and has not conferred a new Yanshenggong so far.

The Confucian government dared to call out Fengyang Zhu, the slogan of the nouveau riche, so of course Zhu Qiyu wanted to let the Confucian government know what the nouveau riche's means were.

Yan Shenggong, after all, there is no regiment camp.

Not only Confucius wants to be sanctified, but his descendants also want to be Yan Shenggong, who is a duke and honored from generation to generation.

Han Feizi said: "Confucianism and Mohism are the prominent learning in the world. Where Confucianism came, Confucius did; where Mohism came, Mo Di also."

When Mo Di was here, how prominent was the Mo family?
At that time, Confucius had 72 virtuous sons. Among them, Qin Huali, the favorite student of the great Confucian scholar Xia, defected from the Confucian school and became an apprentice of Mo Di.

So Mo Di's idea of ​​festival burial is very good, but it is absolutely unacceptable not to offer sacrifices after death.

Without enshrining, there would be no interest groups to maintain the theory and keep pace with the times, and no interest groups to speak for him. He himself has passed away, and there are no interest groups to speak for him behind him.

Mo Di himself, of course, can be flattened and rounded by others.

"Your Majesty knows the Mohists very well." After Hu Minzuo got it right, he suddenly discovered that His Majesty did not know nothing about the Mohists.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "This is the first reason why the Mo family is weak."

When he came to Daming, he began to tinker with new gunpowder and charcoal stoves in Wang Gong Factory. He naturally paid close attention to the Mohists.

Mo Di's festival burial is a very good idea, but after Mo Di's death, Mohism immediately divided into three factions, and launched a protracted internal strife around the theory of fate, and the internal friction was extremely serious.

In fact, as long as Mo Di mixes some other things in his theory, he can become immortal forever.

For example, the Buddha said Nirvana, the Nestorians said that they would be resurrected in three days, and the status of Confucius in the Confucian Temple was solid for 2000 years, and even his descendants have been honored for generations.

Mo Di can shout "I will come back like lightning", and then the Mohists, closely united under this banner, may not be impossible for generations to come.

However, if Mo Di did this, he would not be Mo Di.

Zhu Qiyu knew Mo Di very well, and he also knew "Mo Zi" very well, so he said that Mo Di himself would be very angry if he knew that Mo Di would be enshrined.

"Oh?" Hu Wei was stunned for a moment and said in doubt, "What does Your Majesty think is the second reason?"

Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "Mo Di respects ghosts and gods, but the Warring States period doesn't believe in ghosts and gods."

"Good." Hu Wei nodded uncontrollably, affirming His Majesty's statement.

Mo Zhai himself has an article "Ming Gui", which summarizes all ghosts and gods into the will of heaven.

This kind of thinking runs through Mo Zhai’s discourse, such as in "Shang Tong Xia": "That's why the world desires to unify the righteousness of the world. That's why you choose a sage and make him the son of heaven."

If the world wants to unite the righteousness of the world, it must choose a sage as the son of heaven.

Who will choose?

Tianzhi.

However, starting from Zhuanxu's celestial powers, and then to the allusion of Xingyin's "subjugation and resentment" among the nobles of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, it all shows that starting from Zhuanxu, the Central Plains Dynasty began to change from emphasizing gods to emphasizing people.

When a catastrophe was imminent for Jin Guozhong Xingyin, he brought Tai Zhujian to question him.

Taizhu Jian replied calmly: "Sacrificing to the gods and ancestors can pray for blessings and benefit the prosperity of the country, but the curse of the people can also lead to the destruction of the country. Your excessive taxation has caused resentment and scolding from the people."

"Now I am praying for you alone, but everyone in the country is cursing you. How can my prayers alone counteract the curse of the whole country?"

"It's hard to be outraged, isn't your disaster expected? What crime do I deserve?"

Only then did Zhong Xingyin feel ashamed.

Taizhu is a kind of official title, which is dedicated to proclaiming to the gods with words, welcoming the gods and sending them off in sacrifices, expressing ghosts and gods, and praying for good fortune.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, even the full-time witches such as Taizhu, who worshiped ghosts and gods, were changing from emphasizing gods to emphasizing people.

There are two main signs of the transformation from emphasizing ghosts and gods to emphasizing people, from theocracy to secular politics: first, the rise and fall of politics does not depend on gods, but on the backs of the people and the policies and qualities of monarchs and ministers;

Second, "Heaven" has been transformed into a general concept rather than a real existence, and the sense of mystery has been greatly reduced. Specifically, it has changed from Haotian God to God of Heaven.

This kind of change is not only for literati, not only for scholars, but also for princes and generals. For example, Wuzi, the king of Jin, once said to Xianzi: "I am not virtuous, and the people will abandon me."

Mo Di is still "Ming Gui", talking about the will of heaven, it seems a bit out of date.

Hu Yan took a sip of tea and said, "What about your majesty?"

"The third is that the superior is not happy." Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Ming and replied.

What is Hu Wei asking?He is asking about etiquette.

He wants to know how much His Majesty knows about Mo Di and "Mo Zi".

There are various reasons for the decline of Mohism, not just the suppression of Confucianism. Tai Shigong visited the Han Dynasty, and there were only less than forty Mohists.

It is conceivable that the decline of the Mohist school has internal causes, not just external ones.

In the allusion of killing the son by the belly, what is the reason why Juzifu opposed King Huiwen of Qin?The method of the Mohist.

So in the end, follow the laws of Daqin, or follow the laws of your Mohists?

The Mohists are a strictly disciplined group of the Mohists.

After Mo Di's death, Mohists recommended sages to serve as Juzi; when Mozhe became an official, he had to be sent by Juzi; the salary earned by Mohist as an official must be handed over to the Mohist group for use.

Such a disciplined group will of course be disliked by those who are superior.

Which emperor would like to see such a dynamic group under his rule?
Moreover, the Mohist practiced literature and martial arts, and Qin Huali, who defected from Confucianism to Mohism, led people to defend the city for Song Dynasty in person, and directly embodied "Fei Gong" from thought, convincing people with reasoning.

Such a dynamic group will naturally not be liked by the superiors. Therefore, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it can be said that they spared no effort to attack the Mohists. The superiors of various countries have a tacit understanding in this regard.

In fact, this problem is quite easy to solve, but it cannot be solved.

That is Mo Zhe Juzi, who is held by the emperor himself, just like Zhu Qiyu is the head of the martial arts hall, but Yu Qian is in charge of the martial arts hall.

Isn't the Royal Society with the British also the King of England as the protector?

Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei's play is correct. Although there are not many clauses, each sentence contains a lot of information.

Xing'an, who was listening to the government, fell into confusion. What are they talking about in this cloudy conversation?
Zhu Qiyu put down the teacup and said: "Festival burial, dislike for the superior is not an evil idea, it is even the most benevolent, benevolent and reasonable idea."

"Furthermore, from the Mohist giants to the Mohist, they are all using their lives to practice their own ideas."

"They are a group of people with peace of mind, a group of people who have settled themselves well. When they die, they can say that they have no regrets and no regrets in their lives, and they are people who are beneficial to the world."

"Even when I look at Mozi, I think that his theory of understanding ghosts is just to put his hopes on the world. He believes that ghosts and gods can reward the good and punish the evil, and the world will be in order. This is the meaning of the desire of the world to unify the world."

"In Mozi's "Guiyi", Mozi met a fortune-teller. The fortune-teller prevented Mozi from going north, saying that there was a bad omen. Mozi said: If you use the words of Zi, you will be forbidden to travel in the world. It also proves that Mozi The son's attitude towards the theory of ghosts and gods."

"Mozi even said in "Fei Ming": To hold on to the words of those who are destined is to overwhelm the world."

"Mozi rubbed his head and put his heels to benefit the world. He is a wiser saint than Confucius."

Looking at "Ming Gui" alone, it seems to prove the real existence of ghosts and gods, but judging from the whole "Mozi", Zhu Qiyu believes that it is just a tool for Mozi to realize his political ideas, similar to "three feet above the head". There are gods, not afraid of others and afraid of self-knowledge."

A person who advocates the theory of ghosts and gods does not believe in determinism, and even dismisses fortune tellers, which shows his actions.

Zhu Qiyu clarified his position, Mozi is a more brilliant saint than Confucius.

He has always been open and aboveboard, speaking clearly and not letting slander take the opportunity to separate people.

In the fourth year of Jingtai, he told Hu Miao clearly that Mozi was more intelligent than Confucius, but he just didn't want Hu Miao to make a wrong judgment.

"Your Majesty understands." Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, the matter is easy to handle if His Majesty has a clear attitude.

But he soon became a little embarrassed, he sat forward and said: "Your Majesty, let's take our time, who is better, Mozi or Confucius, you can leave it alone for the time being, and collect "Mozi" first. Then set up Mo Xuetang, and study separately.”

"Wait until this ink school has achieved results, and then change the customs."

Who is the wisest Mozi or Confucius? Of course, His Majesty has the final say on this matter, and Hu Yi will not discuss who is wiser with His Majesty. Whoever His Majesty says is wiser is wiser!

Even if His Majesty said that Emperor Jianwen was brilliant, Hu Wei could still sprinkle water to wash the ground.

But if His Majesty said it, will the world recognize it?Obviously not.

Changing customs is a big deal.

"Guanzi Collection" has already been proofread, and it is not impossible to proofread another "Mozi Collection". Although Hu Wei doesn't understand it very well, there are people in Daming who understand it.

"Like Zhuanxu Jedi Tiantong?" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

Zhuanxu's Jedi Heavenly Communication is a landmark event, marking that gods and men perform their duties, and then after a long period of time, political philosophy has changed from a secular society that emphasizes gods to people. This time is very long.

Hu Wei nodded and said, "It's like Jedi Tiantong."

Zhu Qiyu asked thoughtfully: "What if someone objects?"

"Then the imperial examination will take Mozi Guanzi instead of the Four Books and Five Classics." Hu Wei answered fluently.

As an official in the Jingtai Dynasty, who wouldn't know how to smash the roof with one hand?
