Ji Kun already understands!
It turned out that I, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhiyu, Wang Fuzhi and others had come all this way either to buy the relics or to appraise and copy the books!
As long as they copy "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" back and authenticate it as a posthumous text of Confucius, they will never look at the "original" again. This thing is not real, so you can’t read more. If you read too much, it will definitely reveal your flaws. What will you say then?
Therefore, Emperor Zhu had already arranged a backup plan, asking Dongguo Gege to come forward and take away the so-called originals - once the things were returned to Gege, they would become her dowry, and they would be sent directly to the palace for collection in the future, so that no one else could see them anymore. ...Maybe there will be some fires and floods, and the evidence will be destroyed directly.
Once the evidence is destroyed, "Zi Lun Ge Wu Chapter" will no longer be false! Then "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" can be added to the Four Books and Five Classics, and from now on it will be the Five Books and Five Classics!
Moreover, "Zi Lun Investigation of Things" is not used to promote the sage political ideal, but to seek the way through investigation of things. What is opened is the door for Confucianism to pursue the great road. Once it is included in the Five Books and becomes a Confucian classic, it is equivalent to opening a door to the study of studying things to gain knowledge for scholars all over the world... From now on, scholars all over the world will study the studying of things. Zhizhi, no one will rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will be as solid as a rock!
Emperor Hongxing is so clever!
But where did such a clever method of studying things to gain knowledge come from?
Ji Kunji, a great talent, couldn't figure it out after much thought, so he had to copy it first. He and Wang Fuzhi each copied a table of bamboo slips, and then exchanged and checked them to make sure they were word for word. Then they said goodbye to Jabs and returned to Lushunkou City for business.
...
"Okay, okay, this girl from Dongguo is very sensible. She has already obtained the original copy of "Zi Lun Ge Wu" for me, and we will bring it to Laoshan Palace together before the New Year."
Nanjing, Forbidden City.
Zhu Cixiang has already obtained the memorial from Princess Heshuo of Dongguo, and today he even brought it to the meeting between the two governments in Dongnuan Pavilion of Fengtian Palace.
Before the memorial copy of Dongguo Gege was delivered, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhiyu, and Wang Fuzhi had already expedited 600 miles to send the copy of "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" to Nanjing. All the important ministers of the two governments read it and gave Emperor Zhu congratulatory memorials - this was an "auspicious" event!
The most holy posthumous chapter has appeared in the world, and it is also an important work such as "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian"!
According to the theory of the unity of man and nature, this shows that Zhu Cixiang is extremely virtuous - I wonder if Dorgon, who fought against him in Qufu, had any credit? Without him digging the grave, it seems like this thing can't come out?
Zheng Zhilong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said with a smile: "Princess Heshuo loves the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty. She has done such great service for your Majesty and deserves a heavy reward."
He is trying to win over comrades for his daughter!
Zheng Chagu, the imperial concubine, is always one level lower than Wu Sanmei, the empress. If she can win over Dongguo Gege, the second imperial concubine, then it will be two imperial concubines attacking one empress, and now they will be evenly matched.
"It is indeed worthy of a reward!" Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, "But now Dongguo is still young and has not yet entered the palace, so it is not convenient for me to reward her, so I will record her merit first!"
Emperor Zhu pushed the matter back, and Zheng Zhilong's favor weakened a lot.
He then changed the subject: "Shoufu, what do you think of "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian"? Can it be called the Five Books together with "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius"?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that the "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is enough to form its own pattern, and the corresponding ones should be the Four Books and Five Classics."
"Oh? Really?" Zhu Cixiang pretended to be surprised, "Can the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu" be equal to all the knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics?"
The content in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is actually quite complicated. Zhu Cihong was not engaged in philosophy in his previous life, but he was very familiar with induction, deduction, analysis, reasoning, statistics, probability, and operational research. He was very familiar with empirical research. I am also familiar with the things of Marxism (practice is the only criterion for testing truth, who in future generations will not know that?), and I also know some things of dialectical materialism. These miscellaneous things were turned into "Zi Yue" and "Zigong Wen Yue" by him, and were written into "Zi Lun Ge Wu Chapter", but he did not go into details - Zhu Cixiang himself did not understand some of them very well. Some of them are closely related to financial analysis. Zhu Cixiang could write a book to explain them in detail, but he didn't do that. This is just the beginning. Don't be so advanced. So he just opened doors one after another.
Even if the door is only open, there is a lot of knowledge here! It would not be an exaggeration to say that "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" surpasses the Four Books and Five Classics!
However, although the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is vast, it remains superficial and requires in-depth exploration and research. It can be said that "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is composed of dozens or hundreds of doors. What is behind the door still needs to be discovered by the great and small Confucians of the Ming Dynasty - whatever they discover will be a great philosopher and great Confucian!
"Your Majesty, the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is of course great, but it is different from the knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics." Wei Zhuangyuan was the number one scholar after all, and his IQ was still high. He had already seen some knowledge, "The Four Books and Five Classics" It is to master the knowledge thoroughly. As long as you read it thoroughly, you will be a great Confucian. However, the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is just beginning. Each article can be said to contain a secret of heaven, and it takes a lot of effort to explore its truth. If you want to learn, then you should study every item in "Zi Lun Ge Wu"!"
That’s right!
These Confucius are all summed up by great philosophers in Western history, and each one of them is a piece of knowledge.
And these knowledge itself are methods and tools for understanding the world - that is, methods and tools for studying things to achieve knowledge!
If you dig deeper, the possibilities are endless.
In comparison, how deep can Confucian politics and moral ethics go? Moreover, this knowledge has been studied by generations of Confucians for 2,000 years. How much more can be discovered?
"Shou Fu's words make sense!" Zhu Cixiang said with a smile, "Since "Zi Lun Ge Wu Chapter" has appeared in the world and contains such great knowledge, we should study its reason... I think that this Taixue and A great scholar should take "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" as the foundation of his scholarship!
As for the Four Books and Five Classics, they have been treated for so many years, so they are almost done. "
Zhu Cixiang wanted to turn Taixue into a national research institution for the study of "Zi Lun Ge Wu"! A bachelor is a scholar who studies "Zi Lun Ge Wu Chapter", rather than a bureaucrat who is only an official without being a scholar.
"Your Majesty, are there any more students to be recruited?" Li Mingrui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is now in the same party as Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi is not in Nanjing, so he naturally wants to work for the interests of the Nanjing people.
Taixue can't just do knowledge! We have to recruit too many students!
"Here you go!" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "When I find you, I will learn "Zi Lun's Investigation of Things", and then start arithmetic and investigation of things... In addition, you also need to learn fencing and muskets!"
Taixue will become a university!
However, it was not a university that emphasized professional training in later generations, but a university that provided general education.
"Your Majesty," Li Mingrui asked, "How should we recruit the Imperial Prince?"
"Test!" Zhu Cihong said, "Test "Confucius on the Investigation of Things" and arithmetic... I compiled a book "New Arithmetic", which was not too difficult, so I printed it together with "Confucius on the Investigation of Things" Hundreds of thousands of copies are then distributed to the Department of Education in each state capital, and then the Department of Education distributes it to scholars for self-study.”
Things like philosophy and arithmetic are all about talent. If you have enough talent, you can achieve success through self-study. Emperor Zhu doesn't have so many teachers to use now, so he should distribute the teaching materials to let people study on their own for a year or two, and then select the best ones through examinations - all of them are smart people with IQs above 130.
Then they continue to distribute textbooks for them to study on their own... This university is so irresponsible that it has a whole self-study class!
He paused and said: "As for the Grand Bachelor... it can be called the Grand Bachelor of Taixue. Seven people are appointed to jointly manage Taixue. Under the seven bachelors, there is a director, who is responsible for the secular affairs, and a doctor who is responsible for teaching students. .As for the emergence of the Seven Scholars, I also mean it is a test, and I will set the questions for the test!"
