It's not like everyone is invited out, but Yan Hui is still retained.

Zhao Han ignored the opinions of the ministers and continued: "In the future Confucian Temple, the most holy Confucius will be the chief priest, and the Fusheng Yanhui, Zongsheng Zengzi, Shusheng Zisi, and Yasheng Mencius will be enshrined. As for the 72 sages, Xunzi, Zuosheng, etc. Shi, Guliang, Gongyang, Han Yu and other sages can all be preserved, and many others are open to discussion. Why not join the soloist Sima Qian? Why not join Fan Zhongyan, who was worried about the world beforehand? Why not join Wen Tianxiang, who keeps his loyalty and history? Zhu Xi, Wang Shouren Why not join in?"

Li Banghua said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, if such a large-scale change is made, the scholars in the world may criticize it. Maybe we can wait until the world is unified, and then decide which sages to worship in the Confucian Temple."

"No, just now," Zhao Han said, "you will all be given a list when you go down. The sages selected for worship in the Confucian Temple should have one of meritorious deeds, morality, and words. I'm talking about Sima Qian, Fan Zhongyan, Wen Tianxiang, Zhu Xi and Wang Shouren must be included in the 72 sages of the Confucian Temple!"

"As ordered!"

Li Banghua bit the bullet and agreed.

Not only Zhao Han would be scolded by scholars all over the world, but Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others also could not escape the infamy.

Li Banghua couldn't figure it out. Now that the world is uncertain and disasters are constantly happening, why did Zhao Han want to offend scholars at such a critical point?

Zhao Han continued: "The Confucian Temple must not be built on a large scale, nor should it be offered repeatedly, at most once a year, and it is not allowed to exploit the people by offering sacrifices to the Confucian Temple! Any official is not allowed to recruit servants when offering sacrifices to the Confucian Temple! Set up a martial arts temple. When military academies are established in the future, a martial arts temple must be built near each military academy."

Pang Chunlai asked: "Your Majesty, if you want to restore the Martial Temple, where should Jiang Ziya be?"

"First place!" Zhao Han replied.

Pang Chunlai asked again: "Jiang Ziya was invited into the Martial Temple, so does the Emperor's Temple still have to offer sacrifices?"

"Together." Zhao Han said.

Li Banghua said: "Your Majesty, it is not in accordance with the etiquette."

Zhao Han said: "Since Jiang Ziya has merits and virtues, so what if he is enshrined in the Wu Temple and the Emperor Temple?"

There was no Wu Temple in Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Yuanzhang built the Emperor Temple, he found that Jiang Ziya was not with King Wu of Zhou, so he asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites, "Where is Jiang Ziya?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites replied: "Jiang Ziya is the main god of the Wu Temple, and he was named Wucheng King."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry: "Jiang Ziya is a subject of King Wu of Zhou, how can he be crowned king? Could it be that the monarch and his ministers are in chaos? You should remove Jiang Ziya's title and welcome back to the Emperor Temple to worship King Wu of Zhou!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites was very embarrassed: "Jiang Ziya is the main god of the Wu Temple. After going to the Emperor's Temple, what will the Wu Temple do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then there is no need for Wu Temple!"

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the Wu Temple disappeared without a trace.

Li Banghua repeated the question asked by the emperor and ministers in the early Ming Dynasty: "Your Majesty wants to restore the Wu Temple, will Jiang Ziya restore the title of king?"

Zhao Han laughed and said, "Confucius' King Wenxuan is gone, so how can Jiang Ziya's King Wucheng be retained? Since Confucius has been named the most holy master of Dacheng, Jiang Ziya should be named a great master of soldiers."

Although Emperor Jiajing had a lot of shit, he also did two interesting things:

First, abolish Confucius' title of king and turn Confucius into a teacher.That is to say, King Wenxuan of Dacheng was abolished and replaced by the most holy teacher of Dacheng.The Kong family in Qufu was very upset, and from then on they enshrined the title of king bestowed by the Yuan Dynasty, and resolutely refused to enshrine the title bestowed by the Ming Dynasty.

Second, remove Kublai Khan and his officials from the temples of emperors of all dynasties, and do not recognize Kublai Khan as the emperor of China.

To be honest, the second thing is very inappropriate.

Because the holy relics of Genghis Khan (for Mongolia), and the relics of Kublai Khan, most of them are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.In this regard, Daming has the legal authority of the Yuan Dynasty. In theory, the entire grassland belongs to Daming, and Emperor Jiajing would give up if he did this.

Well, it doesn't matter if you give up or not.

Pang Chunlai asked: "Do you want to invite Yuan Shizu (Kublai Khan) back to the Emperor's Temple?"

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Of course I have to come back, and make an offering to Shizu Yuan. What lands Shizu Yuan owns...cough cough, we'll talk about it later."

As long as Kublai Khan is invited back to the Emperor's Temple, China will have a strong claim to Mongolia, Tibet, and Xinjiang.It seems useless, but it has political significance, and the reasons for sending troops are very sufficient.

Zhao Han continued: "When rebuilding the Temple of Martial Arts and the Temple of Emperors, two people must be invited in. One is Yue Fei, who should enter the Temple of Martial Arts; "

Chapter 457 [A hundred schools of thought contend]

Fei Rumei gave birth to a daughter who is in confinement, and Liu Rushi is about to give birth.

At this moment, Liu Rushi was basking in the sun with her stomach upright, and Fei Rulan was studying ink in the garden with her sleeves pulled.

Zhao Han picked up the pen and wrote the calligraphy, and the inscriptions on the three plaques: Nanchang University, Changsha University, and Guangzhou University.

These are the three universities that will be opened next year, and the Ministry of Rites (the Ministry of Politics and Education) has discussed and confirmed them.Because these three provinces were Zhao Han's earliest territory, basic education has been promoted for many years, and they have the conditions for the source of students to build a university.

As for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Fujian, after discussions among the ministers, they felt that it could be postponed for another year or two.

It is mainly the court and the people, because of the location of the university, they have already played out their brains.

In Zhejiang, the focus of debate between civil officials and scholars was whether to host the university in Hangzhou or Shaoxing.It stands to reason that it should be established in Hangzhou, but there are too many great Confucian scholars from Shaoxing, and many important officials and scholars are also from Shaoxing at this time.

If Zhejiang is still a normal dispute, then Anhui and Jiangsu are simply dumbfounding.

The Huizhou merchants strongly demanded that the university should be established in Huizhou, and that the court should not pay a penny. They could raise funds to build the university, and donate the school to the country free of charge.There are many scholars in Tongcheng and other places, and they are very influential. They suggested that the university should be established in Anqing.There are also many court officials who think that the university can be established in Luzhou.

The three forces, each with their own channels, spoke frantically in front of Zhao Han.

Fang Yizhi, who has been studying physics, was inevitably involved, and suggested to set up the university in Anqing on the sidelines.

As for Jiangsu, Huizhou merchants and Jiangxi merchants suggested the establishment of Yangzhou University, and Jiangnan scholars unanimously proposed the establishment of Suzhou University.The two sides attacked each other, one said that Yangzhou was full of the smell of copper, and the other said that Suzhou was a place of evil spirits.

After writing the imperial bestowed school names of the three universities, Zhao Han handed over the calligraphy to the female officer, and took it to the Ministry of Rites to pass it back to various places.

Zhao Han put down his brush and said with a smile: "When a university is established, local scholars will argue endlessly. How can they work together to oppose the Confucian Temple? The ministers are too worried."

Liu Rushi said: "Your Majesty invited Zhu Zi and Yang Ming Gong into the Confucian Temple, which has a deep meaning, scholars can't make trouble."

"Haha, Mr. Liu knows me." Zhao Han laughed.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty, whether they admit it or not, are all disciples and grandchildren of Zhu Xi.There are countless successors of Wang Yangming's mind theory in the south of the Yangtze River.

Listing these two as the 72 sages of the Confucian Temple will split the world's scholars in an instant, and will inevitably gain a large number of supporters.

Zhao Han retained Confucius, Mencius, and even Yan Zeng. As for the other disciples of Confucius, what do they have to do with today's scholars?You just find a former scholar on the street and ask him to recite the names of the 72 sages of Confucianism. If he can recite half of it, he is considered a learned talent.

On the contrary, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming were famous and had disciples all over the world. These people were potential supporters of Zhao Han's policies.

Even if Zhao Han thinks on his knees, he can predict the direction of public opinion. The focus of the debate between the government and the people will definitely change from whether to change the Confucian Temple's position, to which sages should be replaced.

In just a few days, officials have handed over the first batch.

In addition to the few mentioned by Zhao Han, some people also suggested adding Sima Guang, Bao Zheng, Yu Qian, Hai Rui, Zhang Juzheng and so on.

As for Wang Anshi, he was not highly regarded until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Even if someone praised him, they only praised Wang Anshi for his noble personal morality.

The full recognition of Wang Anshi began to become popular in the Republic of China.

Lao Jiang even compared himself to Wang Anshi, and let the whole country have a big discussion.At that time, government officials at all levels had to hold relevant seminars, and invited well-known scholars to give "Wang Anshi Reform Lectures". Officials, big and small, had to write articles combining Wang Anshi's reform with Chiang Kai-shek's reform.

Lao Jiang admired three people all his life, namely: Wang Anshi, Wang Yangming and Zeng Guofan.

It's a pity that he only lived as Zeng Guofan, especially in the diary.

Many celebrity diaries in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China belong to the legacy of Neo-Confucianism.

Under the blessing of the literary inquisition, the Qing Dynasty completely castrated Neo-Confucianism, and Neo-Confucianism thought has completely regressed.

Scholars took the initiative to strip away the practical content of Neo Confucianism, and especially absorbed the empty talk and falsehood of Xinxue. Scholars pursued "self-cultivation and enlightenment".While corrupting the law and corrupting the law, they regard themselves as Taoists and like to write diaries to exchange ideas on self-cultivation.In order to show their frankness, some officials even recorded in their diaries that they had a meeting with their old wife Dun Lun last night.

This kind of diary is selfless and dignified, and it is specially written for others to read.

The Zeng Guofan in the diary is a saint, but the real Zeng Guofan...haha.

In Zhao Han's case, there is no literary prison, but a hundred schools of thought are encouraged to contend, and many schools of thought have been born now.

Among them, the Luling School, Jinling School, and Hanzhu School are collectively referred to as the "Datong School".

Luling County had always been the core of Zhao Han's rule, and Hanzhu Academy in Qianshan was the place where Zhao Han once studied. The theory of Datong quickly became popular in these two places.Nanjing is also the capital, and the theory of Datong is also extremely strong.

The three places belong to the Datong school, but each has its own focus.The Hanzhu School mainly uses traditional Neo-Confucianism to expound Datong, the Luling School mixes psychology and Neo-Confucianism, and the Jinling School draws on the strengths of others.

Gu Gao raised funds to rebuild Donglin Academy in Wuxi, and the Donglin School announced its revival.

The resurgent Donglin School has already adjusted its academic thinking.Although the theme is still "reading, giving lectures, patriotism", but adding some Datong thoughts, and emphasizing "tolerance for the country, avoid party struggles, philosophy-based, and practical learning", Donglin scholars began to actively study astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics, Disciplines such as water conservancy - they have dabbled in it before.

The Tongcheng School also announced its birth, integrating Neo Confucianism and Psychology, and under the advocacy of Fang Yizhi, it explored natural science.

Wang Zhiliang, a professor of Jinling University, and Fu Shan, a master of gynecology, jointly founded the "Guan School" in Nanjing.Hengqu's four sentences, Datong theory, and the theories of Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming were absorbed to form a rather alternative set of new Guan studies.

Liu Zongzhou led a group of Zhejiang people to create the "Shanyin School" in Shaoxing.This school belongs to a brand-new philosophy of mind, and at the same time absorbs Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, emphasizing "cautious independence" self-cultivation, and supporting the world with righteousness.

In Changsha, Wang Fuzhi, Wang Jiezhi, Xiong Weigong, Guo Fengxuan, Guan Siqiu, Wen Zhiyong and others founded the "Yuelu School".Based on Neo Confucianism, it advocates the liberation of human nature, the monism of qi (simple materialism), the unity of reason and potential (simple view of evolutionary history), etc. This school of thought is also widely spread in the southern part of Hubei.

Based on the members of several clubs, the "Real School" was also established in Huating.

The Practical School is particularly interesting. Although it was founded in Huating, its core base is in Shanghai.It not only advocates practical learning, but also advocates the combination of practical learning and industry and commerce. Many former members of several societies now go into business instead of being officials.

In addition, Guangdong has the Nanhai School, and Fujian has the Quanzhou School.

Regardless of the school of thought, since Zhao Han advocated natural science and was included in the "country examination" this year, more or less they began to dabble in subjects such as mathematics and physics.Many of them may sneer at natural science, but this stuff is related to the future imperial examinations, and they must bite the bullet and study it to expand the influence of the school.

As for Datong theory, any school of thought has to study it, which belongs to the main idea of ​​the new dynasty.

It's just that many schools of thought are trying to sell dog meat. What they expound is "Book of Rites·Li Yun·Datong Chapter" and they don't agree with Zhao Han's method of dividing land and property!

Along with the publication of quarterly journals by the Hanlin Academy and Qintian Academy, these schools also issued academic journals.

A quarter, one issue is released, the sales volume is not very good, and the cost cannot even be made back.But it looks very lively, and they are still fighting in the publications, often catching other schools of thought.

Confucianists who are busy mourning the spring and autumn and feeling nostalgic for the previous dynasty are often attracted by these academic journals.

There are too many new academic ideas, which dazzles Confucians.It is inevitable that you will form your own club, or start your own academic journal, or submit to another academic journal, spitting on the views that you don't like.

Among the academic journals, not all academic articles, more than 50% of the contents contain poetry articles.

In addition, Chinese operas, operas flourished, and popular books began to be published, similar to a combination of commercial newspapers and literary magazines.

Hundreds of years later, researchers of literature and history, if they delve deeper into this period, will be troubled by the various schools of thought and art.It is chaotic, yet thriving, where staleness and innovation are blending.

"Your Majesty, Fei Ruyi is asking to see you." The female officer reported.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Bring him in."

Fei Ruyi was still dressed in colorful clothes, but she didn't wear women's clothes directly.This guy has a soaring crown, his face is painted with rouge, and his lips are red and his teeth are white. He looks like the male protagonist in a decadent drama.

Zhao Han asked, "What are you doing here?"

Fei Ruyi said: "Your Majesty, we have set up a theater troupe called 'Yin Chun Society'. The opera world in Nanjing is almost completely divided by Kunqiang and Huiqiang. How can Jiangxi Gaoqiang fall to others? After? Hehe, Your Majesty, please write an inscription for the Yinchun Club, the signboard should be louder."

"Can't you do something serious? You're busy eating, drinking and having fun all day long." Zhao Han shook his head and sighed.

Fei Ruyi yelled at Qu and said, "Why don't you get down to business? We also participated in the design of the uniforms of the Dragoons and Military Medical Corps. We also gave advice on simplifying the pattern of the national flag. I used to rely on my family to support me, but now I earn it by myself." Yinzi, the business of the clothing store is booming."

Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ministry Li Langzhong Shangshu sued you for hooking up with his son. Is there such a thing?"

"How can that be called hooking up? It's just like-minded people," Fei Ruyi explained, "Mr. Li and I both like to dress beautifully, and we both like to listen to music and sing operas. We just go to a party together, how can it be as dirty as they think? "

Zhao Han thought to himself: I believe you ghost!

Fei Ruyi ignored the etiquette of the monarch and the people, and went directly to Zhao Han's side: "Your Majesty, please write a signboard for the Yinchun Club."

Zhao Han asked the female officer to bring a pen and paper, and said, "Stand back three steps away, I'm the emperor, you can't get too close."

Fei Ruyi smiled and said, "Which one of us is with whom? Don't say that your majesty is the emperor of the world, even if you are the Jade Emperor, we are also old friends. Your majesty is not a person who forgets the past, and I will not do bad things under the name of the emperor. .Hundreds of years later, the friendship between you and me is also a good story."

Zhao Han picked up the pen to write quickly, and cursed, "Get your writing and get away!"

Chapter 458 [Qian Qianyi who admits counsel]

Dozens of officials sat in the hall, waiting for Zhao Han to delete the list.

Suddenly, Zhao Han raised his head and asked, "Who is this Hu Yuan? What achievements has he made?"

Wang Tiaoding clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, Hu Yuan is one of the three masters in the early Song Dynasty. He advocated that learning should be clear and practical, and he was the pioneer of Song Dynasty learning."

That was Zhu Xi's pioneering senior, and Zhao Han easily crossed him off the list.

For the builders of Neo-Confucianism, it is enough to choose only one Zhu Xi.Hu Yuan is crossed out, Ercheng is also crossed out, Zhou Dunyi and so on... Well, Zhou Dunyi can keep it, after all, this is the originator of Confucianism, "Tai Chi Tu Shuo" has a great influence on later generations, it can be said that it has shaped the Chinese people's outlook on the universe .

Zhang Zai can also be selected, and Zhao Han likes Hengqu Siju very much.

In terms of Liyan, among the Confucianists of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Han only retained Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai and Zhu Xi.

As for the study of mind, Lu Jiuyuan, Chen Baisha, Zhan Ruoshui, and Wang Gen were all crossed out, and Zhao Han was only allowed to keep Wang Yangming.

Continuing to review the list, Zhao Han suddenly asked, "Who is Luo Qinshun?"

Li Banghua said: "A native of Taihe, Jiangxi, a great Confucian in Jiangyou, a master of Confucianism, was as famous as Duke Yangming during the Zhengjia period."

At the peak of Xinxue, a Neo Confucian master who was as famous as Wang Yangming?

And he was originally from Taihe County, which was also Zhao Han's early territory.I am afraid that many of the central ministers in front of me are disciples and grandchildren of Luo Qinshun, and even Li Banghua may inherit Luo Qinshun's theory.
