Chapter 69 Beijing Imperial College
But the Imperial College in Beijing is different.
It is far away from the areas where Confucianism is relatively strong, and the areas where Confucianism is relatively strong are actually relatively less affected by the war, that is, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian. And Shanxi and other places.
In addition, He Xi has absolute administrative power, and the nobles are actually not interested in that kind of mysterious and mysterious ideological debate.
Zhu Yuanzhang almost always gave the green light to what He Xi did.
Therefore, the Imperial College in Beijing is He Xi’s absolute home court.
In other words, He Xi can do whatever he wants?
What’s even better is that the Imperial College in Beijing has a very high level and has the same status as the Imperial College in Nanjing. Compared to Nanjing Imperial College, there is much more that can be done. In addition, He Xi already has considerable experience in running schools in Nanjing and Liaodong. Now it has been able to establish one of the highest institutions of learning in the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial College in Beijing. In He Xi's heart, he could benchmark Peking University in future generations.
Suddenly, He Xi felt a sense of fate.
He Xi had absolute control over the establishment of the Imperial College in Beijing. He Xi also placed great hopes on the Imperial College in Beijing. It is hoped that the Imperial College can truly complete the reconstruction of doctrine in the new era and promote the introduction of new ideas in the academic world.
A large number of academicians and scientists emerged.
Just such a move will also bring great pressure. It can even be said that He Xi's reform of the Ming Dynasty's laws in Nanjing was only superficial, more like a declaration or a statement, but what is being done now is truly profound, and there is no right path, and both sides are fighting to the death.
Non-physical destruction is an argument that cannot be settled.
If before, many people secretly whispered that He Xi was Shaozhengmao, from today on, probably no one would say so. Because they must have reached the next stage, they cannot let Confucianism lose its status as an official school for thousands of years. It is impossible for them to let the knowledge they have learned all their lives become useless paper.
At this point, it is useless to say anything.
The truth has been explained, and the chicken is talking to the duck. The only way to prove that you are right is to take action. The end of words is the sword, and the end of a literary fight is a physical fight.
He Xi didn't know how many storms there were. For the first time, He Xi was worried about whether Zhu Yuanzhang could help him suppress the situation.
Therefore, Yao Guangxiao dared to say this, but others did not dare to speak. It depends on what He Xi does.
He Xi was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the poem she had recited, Gorky's Haiyan. Only now could he understand this feeling. Take a step forward, the sky will collapse, the earth will fall apart, it will be life and death. But at this point, even if you don’t want to take this step, can you not take it?
He Xi also has his own uncompromising persistence in his heart.
He Xi closed his eyes, and all the years he came to Ming Dynasty flashed before his eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Then let the storm come more violently. Either don't do it, or do it. This one I will write a memorial about the matter."
------
He Xi's memorial was always the first in line, and when he arrived in Nanjing, he quickly arrived at the Secretary's Prison.
Fang Xiaoru didn't dare to neglect it, so he naturally took it for a look.
In the middle of the night, an oil lamp poked out a halo of light. This oil lamp was made of whale oil. Much brighter than an ordinary oil lamp. Although candles were provided in the palace, Fang Xiaoru was frugal, so he used oil lamps instead of candles.
But Fang Xiaoru didn't know that whale oil candles were also used in the palace today, and the difference between the two was actually not big.
Fang Xiaoru tilted her head slightly, pushed up her glasses, and looked at He Xi's memorial carefully under the light. I was stunned for a moment. The light shone on Fang Xiaoru's face. For the first time, Fang Xiaoru's face felt ferocious.
I don't know when, Fang Xiaoru loosened his grip and the memorial fell on the table.
"You dare. You dare------" Fang Xiaoru's voice was very soft, but he gritted his teeth. Matching the expression on his face, a surge of murderous intent spurted out.
Fang Xiaoru had actually endured He Xi for a long, long time.
Fang Xiaoru had been enduring it from the beginning. Didn’t Fang Xiaoru have any thoughts about Song Ne’s death? If it weren't for the strong request of the prince, when Liu Sanwu opposed the reform, Fang Xiaoru would be on the same side. Is Fang Xiaoru a person who is afraid of death?
As a master who dares to shout: "It doesn't matter if we kill ten tribes", he is afraid of death. No one believes it.
But Fang Xiaoru's position and status forced him to endure it, because everyone knew that Fang Xiaoru belonged to the prince and was Song Lian's disciple. Fang Xiaoru did not represent himself, but the prince and the political resources of Song Lian's lineage.
In this position, Fang Xiaoru cannot make any mistakes.
Therefore, it is not that Fang Xiaoru is afraid of death, but that many things in the world are more difficult to live than to die.
Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth, smashed his teeth and swallowed blood. Even his own comrades are saying that Fang Xiaoru is a timid person. Even Ding Xian dared to oppose the reform, but now Fang Xiaoru does not dare. But they never thought that without someone from the other side, grass would have grown on Ding Xian's head.
Fang Xiaoru didn't care about these.
What he cares about is the belief in his heart.
But in his opinion, He Xi was pushing the envelope.
What was written in the Imperial College in Beijing on He Xi?
Although the Nanjing Imperial College added some new things, it was still essentially a Confucian classics education. But the Imperial College in Beijing is not.
Beijing Imperial College Branch. Separate arts and sciences. There is a college of engineering and science in a grand manner. This made Fang Xiaoru extremely uncomfortable. The Imperial Imperial College is not a place where craftsmen can set foot. It is enough to set up some schools for craftsmen in other places.
Fang Xiaoru just turned a blind eye. However, the Imperial College in Beijing was one of the highest institutions of higher education in the Ming Dynasty. What was taught there was not only a question for the students, but also the political trend.
In the Confucian system, the study of craftsmanship cannot wait for elegance at all. And appearing in the highest academic institution of the Ming Dynasty was in itself an insult to the Confucian officials.
Then something even more unacceptable to Fang Xiaoru appeared.
In the so-called liberal arts college, there are many inexplicable subjects, such as elementary school. In this elementary school, the theory of phonology, sentence reading, article writing, etc., in current terms, should be Chinese linguistics, that is, the Chinese department.
But the problem is that there is very little content here. There is almost none, but there are a lot of poems and songs.
Fang Xiaoru was left in the dark.
Then, in the College of Liberal Arts, there is a special subject of Confucian classics, but Confucian classics is related to elementary school and arithmetic. Waiting for several subjects to be juxtaposed. In other words, classical education is not the focus of the Imperial College in Beijing at all. This is the most unforgivable.
As for Neo-Confucianism, it has no name at all and cannot even be regarded as a separate discipline.
Educating the people in Confucianism is essentially moral education, and the foundation of so-called moral articles lies in classics. The so-called Neo-Confucianism also originated from Confucian classics. But in the Song Dynasty it was already a separate discipline.
If you study more detailed flowers, you can also list them separately.
But here in He Xi, the content of Neo-Confucianism is just one of the courses of Confucian classics. Even He Xi mixed a lot of personal information into his study of Confucian classics. Fight with Neo-Confucianism.
When Fang Xiaoru saw this, he was extremely angry.
Letting people study is not to educate people's hearts. What they produce are talented but virtuous people. What is an academy if it cannot pass down sacred knowledge? No, it's heresy.
Fang Xiaoru's blood rose to the sky, and he wanted to rush out in an instant. In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he made an impassioned speech to bring order to the chaos, so that He Xi would end up like a young man. This will reveal the justice of the world. Only then can we educate the people of the world.
But when Fang Xiaoru thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, her heart suddenly became cold.
Because he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's tendencies very well.
There are treacherous ministers only when there is a foolish king.
The reason why He Xi, a sycophant, dares to undermine the righteousness of the world is because of the protection of this foolish king.
Fang Xiaoru may not realize it himself, but he has abandoned his so-called "loyalty". This section officially lists Zhu Yuanzhang among his enemies, rather than his monarch. Anyway, there is sufficient ideological support in Confucianism: "It is unheard of to kill a single husband and kill the king."
Fang Xiaoru has no thoughts of regicide at this moment, but the ideological preparation has been slowly completed.
Bring order out of chaos. This "chaos" probably involves not only He Xi, but also Zhu Yuanzhang. How to do just this one thing? Fang Xiaoru couldn't make up his mind, and in the end he just sighed.
