Chapter 809 Abolishing Confucianism
"Elder Ge, Your Majesty is abolishing Confucianism!...Elder Ge, I will find a way to stop His Majesty, otherwise, the future decline of holy learning will be disastrous..."

"...Yes! Elder Ge, His Majesty's promotion of the law of the western barbarians this time is intended to suppress my Confucianism. Elder Ge, it is better to find a way as soon as possible, otherwise, the court in the future will be full of barbarians... ..., alas..." The man spoke halfway, but did not continue.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately got some approval.I also got a lot of contempt, what the emperor wants to do, if you say stop it, stop it?If it were that simple, the current situation would not have happened. The emperor's strength has reached a level that cannot be described in words. If you say you are opposed to what the emperor has spent so much energy on doing?You can't do it if you say no?Stop when you say stop?Many people laughed with disdain.

Han Yu didn't make a sound, he was just listening, just like what many contemptuous people think, with the current emperor's strength, is it possible to stop the emperor from planning for a long time?

There was a little silence for a while.

"...No, Mr. Xu Ge is also a disciple of my Confucianism, and he is also a Jinshi. He is an upright Chinese descendant. Although he borrowed Western methods, his roots are still my Confucianism. What he does is also for the people of Ming Dynasty. Confucianism must not be abolished, at most it is to gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought..." Others also objected.

Hearing this, many people nodded.

"... Exactly, everyone, don't forget that Master Zhang's current limelight has overshadowed my Confucianism. If my Confucianism doesn't make any achievements, I'm afraid it will be compared to Taoism." Go down..." Another person also said.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence. In today's Confucianism, there were wolves before and tigers later.There are barbarians oppressing outside, and Taoism fighting inside.

Han Yu remained silent, letting these people quarrel.The reason for the quarrel is nothing more than the fact that the emperor suddenly wants to do some latitude and longitude surveys and survey the geography of the world, which will use a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. The "Western School" scenery, Confucianism seems to be a bit bleak.

The emperor admired the "Western School" Xu Guangqi... Many people think that the emperor is abolishing Confucianism and promoting barbarians.Many people felt that the opportunity had come, and they were going to use this excuse to find fault with the emperor together, to give the emperor some good looks, to regain his previous self-confidence and demeanor, and to regain the time when all the civil servants had the final say.

Han Yu has been listening, and doesn't want to argue with these people, and doesn't want to say anything more.Some things are not as simple as talking about them, nor are they as simple as thinking about them casually. It is even said that these rhetoric are "clichés", which are not new or useful, and are not worth fighting for. Not worth what he said.

Not to mention that Han Yu himself is an "imperial party" and has a very close relationship with the emperor. Based on the many inside stories he knows about the emperor, he will not easily participate in activities that those people say make the emperor look good. So what if the emperor is really abolishing Confucianism?
Now the emperor has put a soft knife on the throat of Confucianism. Confucianism is in a dilemma. Abolishing Confucianism is not abolishing Confucianism. It is just a word of the emperor.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that everyone in the world reads? The Confucian scholars have not yet won the battle, and the matter of getting everyone in the world to study is going on at a leisurely pace. With this one move, the emperor has already removed himself In the vortex of abolishing Confucianism, he is basically invincible. Whether or not to abolish Confucianism is basically no pressure for the emperor. Just adding a little weight there is enough to make everyone toss.

Whether it is advancing or retreating, the emperor can advance and retreat freely, but what about Confucianism?Advancement is like Xu Guangqi’s, learning to absorb the Western, or the nutrition of a hundred schools of thought for his own use, and expanding the scope of Confucianism, such as Confucian workers, Confucian businessmen, Confucian generals, etc., will produce new Confucianism, Confucian thoughts and theories, There will probably be a huge change, and the old Confucianism that will follow will be greatly impacted.

Retirement means that the concept of saints is shattered, the sanctity and accuracy of saints, including the irreversible nature of Confucian classics, etc., will collapse. There may no longer be legal principles for governing the world, which is a huge shock to Confucianism or Confucians.

Many people do not want to be greatly impacted, which is closely related to their own interests; but there are also many people who do not want to see the shattering of Confucian ideas. This is undoubtedly a huge blow. Decades of ideas are shattered. Even more unacceptable.

Controversy is unavoidable.

Han Yu tried his best to keep his spirits up. When he was old, his energy was always exhausted. To abolish Confucianism, or to promote new Confucianism; whether to support the emperor or oppose the emperor, it was not a difficult decision for him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Han Yu sorted out his confused thoughts and prepared to say something.

"...Everyone's words are reasonable..." Han Yu sorted out his words, and began to summarize the meeting, almost all of them were "clichés", nothing new, nothing It's nothing more than the emperor's sage, believing in the emperor's words.

"...Ge Lao, let me say something disrespectful..."

Everyone followed the voice, and a ferocious face gritted his teeth and said, through the words, everyone shuddered in their hearts.

"...Oh..." Han Yu snorted, a little dissatisfied with someone interrupting his words.

"...To be disrespectful, Mr. Ge, all the weird things happening in my Ming Dynasty are almost supported by the prestige of your majesty's own power. If your majesty is unable to support it, or if your prestige is damaged, then many things may not be possible. You can't do it..." The man almost said through gritted teeth.

Everyone shuddered in their hearts. This remark was a little too exaggerated, and it was a little too harsh.

Han Yu was even more shocked in his heart. Judging from this appearance, it seemed that it was not a simple matter.

"...George, all things nowadays are supported by His Majesty's prestige of being invincible and always correct. If His Majesty also makes mistakes and fails, then the prestige will definitely be damaged. There are many things that His Majesty cannot sustain. Otherwise, if His Majesty's prestige continues to grow, it may not be a good thing for me as a courtier..., what happened to the Taizu back then, we have to guard against..." This person can be said to be gnashing his teeth.

Han Yu shuddered in his heart, the words were too exaggerated, almost to pull him into the water, Han Yu's heart tightened involuntarily.

Bad majesty's prestige?Where does it come from?Needless to say about the nine-thousand-year-old, the word Your Majesty Shengming was the first thing they added to the emperor.

It seems that there are many important things that the emperor is doing now.For example, immigration, but is it easy to go bad?It seems that it is not easy. The immigrant imperial envoys back then, including the emperor, nobles, and others, but one of them recommended an imperial envoy. Although the two deputy envoys were not as famous as Xu Guangqi, they were still outstanding achievements and merits, and their future was boundless. , Bad thing, isn't it against them?Isn't it hard to get along with their relationship?What's more, the rise of "immigrant" officials is already recognized by everyone. Who would have trouble with hundreds of Jinshi and rising stars in the officialdom in the future?What about the relationship behind them?After all, what are the consequences of this bad thing?What are the chances of winning?
War of Thousand Miles in the North?This is also a major event on hand for the emperor, and it shows the emperor's martial arts, and this incident will definitely deal a great blow to the emperor.However, the consequences of this matter will be ruined. The Donglu tail will not be lost, the ashes will revive, and the Mongols will rise again... Now how many people go outside the pass to buy land to make a fortune, and how many people count on victory outside the pass. He, Han Yu, fought with several cabinet ministers, broke with the emperor, and fought with so many people who bought land outside the customs, Han Yu felt that it was unnecessary.

Is it bad to study and run a school?Thinking of this, Han Yu had a headache. As soon as the emperor gave out the several million taels, he immediately recruited a lot of old Confucian students, old scholars, and old teachers who were running around for the sake of running a school. They may not be very high in the officialdom. There may not be many officials, but their energy in Shilin and Confucianism is not generally high, or their reputation is high, or they have many disciples under their names. They really cannot be underestimated.

People like them may not be able to be officials, but they are not inferior to anyone in terms of talking skills. , or in the Dibao, it is almost impossible to beat them.

There are even more headaches. In the past, when dealing with the emperor, civil servants always had to find a point on the commanding heights of morality and use the world's audio-visual public opinion to restrain the emperor. But now, the emperor supports them in running schools and education, and realizing the ideals of saints. If they want to turn around again It is almost impossible to fight the emperor at gunpoint. It is even said that whoever fights the emperor, they will fight whoever they are. The scholar community lacks them, and it is no longer a monolith. It would be nice to turn around and help the emperor.

It seems that only for a moment, Han Yu went through these things in his mind once, and came to the conclusion that it is not easy to deal with the emperor. It seems that there is no chance of winning against the emperor. He should just be an emperor honestly. In, inside and out, they all seem to be the emperor's people, and there is no need for him to make himself an enemy of these people.

It seemed that in just a split second, everyone went through how to deal with the emperor's moves in their minds. Everyone's eyes lit up a little, and then dimmed instantly.

"Lord Wang, you have ulterior motives..." Someone immediately stood up and scolded the grim-faced person.

"...That's right, Lord Wang, Your Majesty is the son of Shengtian, who is loved by all people in the world. Do you have a heart?" Immediately, someone joined the scolding team.

"Okay, let's stop this topic here, so don't say any more..." Han Yu immediately stopped him. These words were indeed outrageous, and might even cause unnecessary trouble.

The stern-faced official seemed to want to say something else.

"...Your Majesty won't abolish Confucianism, otherwise, you won't spend millions of silver every year to run a school..." Seeing that the person wanted to talk, Han Yu immediately suppressed the person's words with words, and the words came out , Han Yu felt speechless for a while, the emperor seemed to be promoting Confucianism in running the school, but everyone knew that this was definitely not promoting Confucianism, it was definitely killing Confucianism.

"...Ge Lao, what is this about promoting Confucianism? This is simply a cup of poison. Drinking a cup of poison will kill you. This is tearing my Confucianism apart by running a school..." The stern-faced official said through gritted teeth.

Everyone was silent for a while. This question is indeed a very practical question, and it is also a question that has not been debated. Everyone can think of the consequences of this question. They can think about it, but can they say it?
"...Your Majesty must have His Majesty's reasons for doing this. In the future, everyone will be able to understand His Majesty's intentions. With His Majesty's sageness, you will not do anything that will harm my Ming Dynasty or China, everyone. Don't worry, with His Majesty's sageness, the answer to this matter will only be revealed when the truth comes to light..." Han Yu said such a sentence without thinking, but he was helpless, with his shrewdness, with his Regarding the relationship with the emperor, he couldn't figure out what the emperor thought about this matter, he couldn't figure out what circle the emperor was going around, and he couldn't figure out the emperor's purpose.

Everyone was speechless for a while, including the man with the hideous face. He has experienced a lot of this kind of thing, almost all of them are exactly the same...

"...Elder Ge, everyone, don't forget about the Taizu..., we'll wait..." The man with a hideous face said again.

"...Okay, let's stop talking about this matter. Your Majesty has always been wise, kind, and not bloodthirsty. Don't talk about such groundless guesses..." Han Yu said with a sullen expression on his face.

This statement immediately got everyone's unanimous approval. The emperor is indeed very kind, and he is not bloodthirsty. He doesn't even have a court staff. The strange impression that the emperor is easy to talk has always been deeply engraved in everyone's impressions.

The ferocious-looking person was also suffocated, and seeing Han Yu's sullen expression, he didn't dare to say any more.

Seeing that he suppressed the backlash, Han Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Now the emperor's actions are getting bigger and bigger. It is necessary and obligatory for him to suppress these remarks for the emperor, but just like what the stern-faced official said, This is almost supported by the prestige of the emperor alone, look at Xuan!But when he thought that the waists of the civil servants were all discounted, Han Yu became indifferent again.

……

On a tea house.

Numerous Confucian scholars are speaking freely about the longitude and latitude of this time, and they are also discussing the abolition of Confucianism and the new Confucianism.The rhetoric is not lacking in fierce ones.

A person wearing a bamboo hat with a gauze around the edge of the hat is sitting in a corner of the teahouse. He seems to be a person who has just returned from outside the customs, and is quietly listening to the debates of the Confucian scholars.

It is said to be quiet, but if you look carefully, you will find that this person is trembling slightly. Obviously, there is a fierce conflict in his heart. This person is Kong Yinzhi, Duke Yansheng.At this time, there was only one sentence in his mind: the descendants of the saint Confucius enslaved and oppressed the disciples of the saint.
