MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 419 Take charge of the Prince's education in person to prevent Neo Confucianism from making a comeback

  Chapter 419 Personally manage the prince's education to prevent Neo Confucianism from making a comeback!

Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "It would be great if the situation of the Qing Dynasty did not go badly after the two years of the apocalypse. Maybe now my Qing Dynasty has entered the customs several times, and his Ming court is full of mourning! Where is the Ming Dynasty?" There will be the current grand occasion! It is truly a reversal of the law of heaven, and Da Ming, who should have entered the twilight period long ago, has regained his vitality. What is wrong with all this?"

   "It's all because the Ming court abandoned Confucianism to govern the country!"

"My lord, I'm not a slave talking nonsense. Now the Ming country can get rid of the situation of greedy officials. It's because their emperors don't follow the ancestral system, don't respect morality, and don't fear people's words; they even do the opposite. Not to mention reforming the system at every turn, the selection of officials only emphasizes their ability, let people speak with disdain, and even let the words of attacking the saint spread freely."

"As a result, and because of this, officials in the Ming country really dare not be greedy, and will not be lazy; more importantly, the slaves discovered through reading their own official newspapers that the Ming country is now the whole country. While actively innovating, they also advocate seeking truth from facts instead of being pedantic. All kinds of miscellaneous studies, such as arithmetic, are included in the imperial examinations."

The academician of the Academy of National History of the Qing court, and also the man of the Manchurian aristocracy, Guerjia Ganglin, who has been thoroughly sinicized, also told the assistant king Jierhalang about Ming Dynasty after learning that the Ming country refused to negotiate peace. The reason why the country suddenly got rid of its twilight.

Ji Erhalang, who has also been in contact with a lot of Han culture, also nodded after hearing this: "If the Han people no longer respect Confucianism. If we ethnic minorities want to dominate the Central Plains and make the Han people in the world rule over Manchuria, we must There is no hope."

"What the prince said is that if the Han people don't believe in Confucianism, they can't make them dull, ignorant, pedantic, or even numb and cowardly. We are willing to believe in Confucianism, not for the future, so that we can better use Confucianism to win over Han people and officials , and then occupy the entire Han family world!"

   "But now, the Han people themselves no longer respect Confucianism alone, so why should we respect it any more? Why don't we take this opportunity to reform, respect practical learning, improve the status of craftsmen, and specialize in skills."

  Gang Lin suggested at this time.

Ji Erhalang did not directly respond to Ganglin's suggestion after hearing this, but asked: "Do you mean that the National Assembly will regain the supremacy of Confucianism after changing one or several emperors in the future? With Confucianism, In particular, Neo Confucianism is an official school, and continue to belittle hundreds of schools?"

After hearing this, Ganglin thought for a while: "I can't rule out this possibility. It hasn't been long since the imperial examination system was reformed in the Ming Dynasty, and there are still a lot of leftovers. Enlightenment will still pay attention to the "Three Character Classics", reading will still only promote the Four Books and Five Classics and Cheng Zhu's learning, and governing the country will still follow Zhou rituals and ancestral systems."

   "But what is uncertain now is whether my Qing Dynasty can wait until that moment. After all, with the current strength of the Ming Kingdom, it is not difficult to destroy my Daqing."

   "Then please surrender!"

"We take the initiative to remove the title of the country, no longer proclaim the emperor, and are willing to continue to belong to the Ming court. We only ask for a commander of Jianzhou as before. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is willing to serve as the commander of Jianzhou commander and envoy for the Ming Dynasty. Shizhen Jianzhou! And willing to obey the dispatch of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and fight for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

  Jirharan said at this time.

After hearing this, Gang Lin pondered for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what you mean is, continue as before, I, Jianzhou Jurchen, would like to be imprisoned by the Ming Dynasty, and then wait until the Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty is revived before attempting to seize the Han family's mountains and rivers. ?”

   Jierhalang nodded: "It can only be like this. As for whether there will be a chance in the future to reproduce our Qing Dynasty, so that our Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners can be the master of the Han people in the world, it depends on the timing in the future."

  Gang Lin also said with some expectation: "In any case, this is a long-term strategy. It is the prince who is wise! The servant thinks that we can try this."

Then, Ganglin said again: "Since this is the case, we should also try our best to prevent the Cheng Zhumen who worship Confucianism and reason in the Ming Dynasty from being completely cut off by the Ming Dynasty, and then disappear without a trace. Instead, we should find a way to send people into the Ming Dynasty. Go to the country, buy or even support these Cheng-Zhu Confucianism people through money and other interests, let them stick to their knowledge, and in the future when the world changes hands, they will revive Neo-Confucianism. Revitalizing Neo-Confucianism means revitalizing our Qing Dynasty as a unified dynasty in the world hope!"

Jierhalang said: "It should be like this! You are responsible for this matter. Taizu still has a lot of money accumulated after he robbed the Ming Dynasty, and then use this money as money for you to buy and support Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianists. "

   "Cha!"

  During the period when Dorgon was the regent, Later Jin changed the name of the country to Qing, and the nominal Manchurian monarch was no longer called Khan, but Emperor, and even Nurhachi was honored as Taizu.

Now Jierhalang has to make a decision for the little emperor of the Manchu Qing after discussing with Ganglin in order to keep a low profile according to the actual situation, but to take the initiative to take the title of the country, please surrender to Daming, and hope that Daming will allow them to continue to build An official of the state guard command and envoy division, he was ruled by Jiji.

  Confucianism developed to the point where Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism appeared and became prominent and even official learning, giving barbaric regimes greater possibilities to conquer civilized regimes.

  Because before the emergence of industrialization, the military gap between barbaric regimes and civilized regimes was not very large.

However, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is a kind of knowledge that emphasizes the internal and neglects the external. Once it becomes the basic ideological program for ruling the country, it will make a civilized regime not only unable to rely on its own more advanced technology to form a military advantage, but will be self-defeating. Martial arts, to suppress one's own military strength.

  Thus, a regime that is barbaric but has a simple ruling structure and strong absorption capacity in the early stage can achieve the miraculous effect of destroying the big with a small one.

Therefore, Zhang Gui was actually worried that after the successful reform of the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty and Neo Confucianism no longer became an official school, the old and young of the Ming Dynasty would still want to be feudal landlords and only enslave the Han people, or even collude with foreign barbarians to enslave the Han people, even if it is impossible for their own Han nationality To become a powerful nation has to do the same thing, and take advantage of the opportunity of moral education to worship Confucianism and reason, to revive these ancient cultures that originated thousands of years ago, and call it the great way of the world.

  For this reason, Zhang Gui specifically told Tian Qi about his worry.

  Apocalypse also has this concern.

As a result of advocating practical learning, developing science and technology, and insisting on reforms and reforms, he has witnessed the decline and prosperity of Ming Dynasty under his rule, especially Tianqi, who showed two completely different national fortunes around the second year of Tianqi, did not want Neo Confucianism to make a comeback. It is necessary to reorganize the staff of the Eastern Palace, let Zhang Gui take charge of the study of the Eastern Palace, and require that the appointment and removal of the lecturers of the Eastern Palace must be drafted by Zhang Gui himself.

   This undoubtedly means that Tianqi has handed over the power of educating the prince to Zhang Gui, and let Zhang Gui be responsible for the education of the prince.

  After all, for a monarchy country like Ming Dynasty, whether the Confucianism will make a comeback, basically depends on whether the emperor behind will give it a chance to make a comeback.

  So it is very important to educate the prince well.

  Zhang Gui didn't dare to be negligent, and took this opportunity to personally choose a lecturer for the prince who he thought was reliable, and took charge of the education of the prince himself.

   Hanlin CI ministers Jiang Dejing, Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, Jie Xuan, and Fu Dingquan, several newly promoted officials with Xilin Academy background, were selected by Zhang Gui as the new lecturers of the East Palace, and Zhang Gui would personally teach for the prince.

  However, Rao Zhang Gui selected a few officials of the East Palace who had the background of Xilin Academy and respected practical learning, but because of the traditional historical materials that value benevolence and virtue, and the literati also subjectively favor the king who treats literati.

  So, on this day, when Fan Jingwen, an official of the Eastern Palace, talked about who the emperors of the Song Dynasty should have the most reference for future emperors, Fan Jingwen still proposed Song Renzong.

  Zhang Guiting immediately retorted: "Did Fan Gong want His Royal Highness to learn from Song Renzong in the future and only know about making peace and increasing coins?
