Upon hearing Ma Ziqiang's impeachment, the officials immediately understood what he was referring to.
Nowadays, most courtiers will ask their servants to buy back new newspapers as soon as possible.
Naturally, I also read the newspaper this morning, and it was hard not to remember the so-called learning experience in my mind.
Ma Ziqiang came forward this time, and most of the courtiers secretly applauded.
At that time, the emperor created a new newspaper, but he thought it was just a small matter, making a vernacular version of the Di newspaper so that he could speak louder.
Who would have known that it is becoming more and more excessive, and there are signs of snatching the right to interpret scriptures!
If the power of kings and the power of exegesis merge, wouldn’t it become the Kingdom of God on earth?
You still dare to decide what is correct? Isn’t this just trying to usurp the power of the referee?
Even out of scholar-bureaucrat instinct, I think it is absolutely impossible!
General Secretary He Yongqing quickly knelt down and apologized: "I am guilty, I ask you to become an official!"
Don't think he wants to stay in this position.
In fact, Gao Gong forcibly left him with the emperor, but the emperor insisted not to let him go.
Previously, the General Administration Department was controlled by Song Zhihan. He basically didn't have to do anything, so he just occupied a trap and enjoyed his leisure time.
Who knew that things would take a turn for the worse after Ding Anbo left!
Look at today, only four months after taking over the General Affairs Department, he has been impeached more than ten times in succession!
He no longer wants to do it!
Unfortunately, it is unrealistic for He Yongqing to run away. Zhu Yijun has not found the right person yet and does not want to let him go for the time being.
Zhu Yijun listened to the two people's questions and answers, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Ma Qing, don't say anything that is not conducive to the court. Why don't you write a memorial and write down the details afterwards?"
He also confuses the public with his monstrous words, so who are you talking about here?
Ma Ziqiang held a breath in his chest.
He said dullly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty's last impeachment memorial was retained by your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "That was left by my mother's queen. Each code belongs to the other. Please feel free to report it. I will study it carefully and comfort the two palaces."
At this time, Fu Yi, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, He Tongzheng published your Majesty's words at the Sutra Banquet to the world. I am afraid that it is suspected of spying on the Sacred Heart, and it is indeed inappropriate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Youzi, the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also took a step forward and bowed down with a sage in his hand: "Your Majesty, before the Sutra banquet started today, the so-called Holy Master's enlightenment spread throughout the world. Do you think this is okay?"
Zhu Yijun glanced at the ministers in the court.
Several cabinet ministers had expressionless faces, and the six ministers remained silent, making it unclear who had opinions on this matter.
He naturally knows that what he has done recently has aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.
From Gu Huan taking charge of the capital camp, to Hai Rui returning to the capital, and yesterday there were rumors that he was trying to influence the salt administration in Huaihe River.
Today's attack on the morning paper is probably due to the convergence of accumulated dissatisfaction over several things.
He didn't rush to speak, and just watched with cold eyes.
Now that the ministers are talking about He Yongqing, he can't do it himself.
Sure enough, during the incident, Li realized the Sacred Heart in the court and immediately came out and said: "I also think that what Li Shaoqing said is mature and prudent."
He saluted to the imperial steps and said: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal, and I would like to ask your Majesty to give orders for the general administration. After that, you must wait until the banquet is over and then publish your Majesty's words so that the rules and regulations can be revealed."
Zhu Yijun smiled slightly.
Although Li Zaiting cannot be allowed to serve in the inner court, he is still very handy when it comes to court discussions.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ziqiang was about to argue again.
Ge Shouli, the imperial censor of the capital, also came out and said: "Dear ministers, why should the general government not publish His Majesty's words, or is it that His Majesty's words contain errors and omissions and should not be published?"
This is a bit heartbreaking.
As Gao Gong's legacy, Ge Shouli had become the emperor's loyal supporter - he was extremely grateful that Gao Gong still enjoyed all the honors after his defeat.
Not to mention that after these days of contact, he only felt that this Holy Sage was not inferior to the Xinzheng Gong at all!
Wherever Ma Ziqiang would be fooled, he clung to one point: "Of course it's not that His Majesty's words were inappropriate, but that He Tongzheng shouldn't be spying on the Sacred Heart!"
Even though he knew what was going on, he couldn't tell the truth in his words.
Li Zaiting said something that was neither yin nor yang: "If this is the case, then everyone in the bookstore should be punished."
The two sides were evenly matched for a while and were in a stalemate.
After the ministers quarreled for a while, Zhu Yijun raised his hand to stop the argument and said with a gentle expression: "Gentlemen, can you listen to what I have to say?"
After everyone stopped talking, he saw Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi and asked slowly: "Since we have talked about it today, you two gentlemen, why not discuss it at the banquet first, and then discuss it in court?"
The two of them knew something inside and nodded silently.
The former just watched the emperor's performance for the sake of one million taels.
The latter looked at his disciple with relief and waited quietly for him to talk.
Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Ziqiang and said kindly: "Ma Qing, Ge Qing just asked a good question. I also want to ask, do you think there are mistakes in my words, or do you think my words should not be published in the world?"
Ma Ziqiang insisted on the point of view just now: "Your Majesty, He Tongzheng..."
Zhu Yijun interrupted him.
He said bluntly: "I asked He Tongzheng to print this matter."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Ziqiang was immediately stunned and couldn't think of what to say.
Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Ziqiang with great interest, not panicking at all.
Academic debate, at this time, is not so fatal.
After Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng took charge of the cabinet. Both of them strongly rejected Xinxue and advocated that instead of talking all day long, it is better to do practical things.
I don’t even have any skills in psychology, let alone Neo-Confucianism.
The bosses above have this kind of thinking, and the people who are promoted also have this characteristic to some extent.
Therefore, ministers like Ma Ziqiang and Shaoqing are in the minority.
Not to mention that there are people who are trying to find fault with Lianghuai and Beijing.
These mobs really can't keep him down.
Seeing that Ma Ziqiang was hesitating and unable to speak, Zhu Yijun did not embarrass him and took the initiative to continue: "Ma Qing, I know what you are worried about. I have no intention of establishing a standard for the world's schools of thought."
Some things need to be straight to the point, and things that are hidden in the clouds can easily be misinterpreted. As for whether you believe it or not, it is none of his business.
"When I was young, I read Qu Zi's Tianwen, and I felt very sad for it."
"In the early days of ancient times, who preached the doctrine? How can we examine it since the upper and lower parts have not yet been formed?"
"How can I not be curious about the universe and myself?"
"Ma Qing, are you confused?"
Ma Ziqiang remained silent.
Zhu Yijun let him go and looked at Li Youzi, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple: "Li Qing, are you confused?"
Li Youzi sighed: "Your Majesty, I am also confused."
Zhu Yijun nodded and did not ask any more questions.
He seemed to be sighing and expressing emotion: "A teacher preaches, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts."
"I thought that after I held the sutra banquet, all the knowledgeable people would be able to clear up the confusion in my mind."
"But when I first held the sutra banquet, several gentlemen started to argue. I felt that what I said was reasonable, and I didn't know what to do."
"This only shows that I am not smart enough to distinguish."
"After I returned to the palace, I became more and more depressed."
"I thought about political affairs again, such as one person impeaching and another defending. I am not smart enough, so what should I do?"
"For example, in June, a white rainbow shot through the sky. Some officials said that this was a sign of my bad deeds. Some censors also said that this was a sign of auspiciousness coming from heaven. How could I believe it?"
"In addition, there are various other things, such as local affairs and the current situation of the people. They are all different. What should I do?"
His words came from the heart and left people speechless.
All the ministers bowed down to apologize.
Zhu Yijun helped the ministers weakly, shook his head and said: "This is because of my lack of talent and virtue. Is it the fault of all the ministers who are humble?"
"So, I had no choice but to follow the Ministry of Punishment's approach to breaking up prisons, and I had a plan in my mind."
"That is to say, everything is based on 'clear evidence'."
"Just like this theory of good and evil, I did not want to establish a system for various schools of thought. I just happened to meet it and found clear evidence. I came from my heart and would like to follow what Tao Qing said."
Tao Dalin insisted at the Sutra Banquet that there is no good or evil in nature and that it is the result of the day after tomorrow.
Zhu Yijun looked at Tao Dalin and nodded slightly.
Tao Dalin was still bowing his head to apologize, his head buried extremely low and motionless.
This matter is very complicated, at least it involves internal disputes within psychology, and more broadly, it also involves disputes between psychology and Neo-Confucianism.
On a larger scale, it is the struggle between various schools of thought.
The bigger problem is that the emperor wants to seize the right to interpret scriptures.
At least in Ma Ziqiang's opinion, the position of referee of Confucian classics should never be left to the emperor.
He said dullly: "Your Majesty, 'clear evidence' may not necessarily be 'clear evidence'."
In criminal justice, there is a theory of perjury.
So is it clear evidence or perjury? Doesn’t it depend on the emperor’s mouth?
To put it bluntly, aren’t you trying to snatch the right to interpret scripture?
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he finally smiled in his heart. Finally, Ma Ziqiang finally fell into the rhythm of his words.
What he wants to fight for is naturally not the orthodoxy of Confucian classics, nor is he fighting to be the judge, let alone the other messy sages and kings who unified the official system.
These feudal classics can be used as materials, but they can never be used as a foundation.
He wants to start a new business! What Zhu Yijun wants is something on the surface - clear evidence.
The ancients made a lot of claims. To put it more broadly, there were some kinds of telepathy from gods and humans, and there were some gods, demons, and Buddhas.
Look around you and see what feng shui, luck and astrology are.
Some people claim that thunder is the anger of gods.
Some people claim that rainbows are auspicious gifts from heaven.
Some people claim that the disease is caused by some kind of evil spirit.
So the question is, are these true? Most people will choose to believe it.
This kind of unfounded belief is called superstition.
This is how it has been throughout history.
Now, he has put forward the so-called "clear evidence", which is to start a trend of thought - the causal relationship of the claimed things requires evidence, which is the so-called "clear evidence".
But, this is not enough.
The causal relationship can be direct or indirect, and the evidence can be clear and true, or false and vague.
Furthermore, how to determine whether "clear evidence" is "clear evidence"?
Then a unified method for verifying causality must be established!
This is what Zhu Yijun wants.
At the same time, it is also the path that every civilization must take - the germination of natural philosophy and scientific thinking systems.
Ma Ziqiang’s question is very good.
Why do you think the proof is clear evidence? Just because you are the emperor?
Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Ziqiang with admiration and said, "Ma Qing, there should be a way to judge whether a clear proof is a clear proof."
"But my talent is not as good as that of the middle man, but I can't think of it."
"Therefore, I still have to rely on all the learned people."
This is to give up the power of judgment and reassure these people.
As for who will judge?
No one can be a referee, or in other words, everyone is a referee, which is what Zhu Yijun wants.
He stopped the ministers who wanted to interrupt and continued: "A few days ago, the Taoist masters donated some silver. I don't intend to use it for pleasure, so I want to build a college specifically to solve this problem."
"Do you think it's okay, sir?"
Mathematics and philosophy are both centuries-old achievements, and he does not expect them to be effective today.
But, the layout has to start from now on.
Technology is technology, and science is science. Without a corresponding set of natural philosophy systems, it will be in vain no matter how many technological trees he climbs.
It was just another Westernization Movement, nothing more.
On the contrary, if we can promote the germination of natural philosophy, we can integrate the wisdom of people all over the world, and a steady stream of knowledge will emerge.
From astronomy, mathematics, physics, etc., it can be said that there are many things to do.
As for whether this will shake his position?
If natural philosophy can also take aphrodisiacs, take three steps and two at a time, and complete modernization within a hundred years, then he will not hesitate to "have nothing to do today."
What's more, who says the imperial system can't keep pace with the times?
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the people who had just come forward to impeach He Yongqing all looked at each other in shock.
I can't understand the context of the emperor's actions at all.
Yang Yigui, the censor of Guangdong, who was on duty at the side, couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, is there anyone who can be chosen for this mountain chief?"
If the emperor wanted to make this mountain chief, wouldn't he just take off his pants and fart?
Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, then suddenly put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Then let Ma Qing, the Minister of Rites, take over!"
The method of verifying cause and effect must be objective, and it does not matter who is the leader.
ah?
Ma Ziqiang looked up in shock.
Already completely confused by the emperor's move.
He did not immediately accept the assignment, but fell into deep thought.
Emperor, what exactly are you going to do?
He had previously made various speculations, including snatching the right to interpret scriptures and integrating politics and religion.
It also includes provoking disputes among various schools of thought and fishing in troubled waters.
So much so that he even thought about the emperor wanting to establish a sect and become a saint emperor.
But now, the emperor has thrown away the "clear evidence" power of refereeing, and also wants to open an academy, and even the mountain chief has been given to himself, who had just been against the emperor.
What exactly is the number?
It can't really be a child's mind, and you want to use it to solve your doubts, right?
Ma Ziqiang thought for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty, not everything has clear evidence."
"Confucius taught the world how to cultivate one's moral character and how to cultivate virtue. Do these things require clear proof?"
The Theory of Good and Evil found an example for the emperor, which does not mean that everything is okay.
Just like mental study and speculation, it is all completed in one's own mind, so why is there any need for proof?
No matter what the emperor's purpose was, he subconsciously felt it was inappropriate and wanted to block it.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun nodded and agreed with this statement.
He understands this better than Ma Ziqiang.
Natural philosophy can only deal with natural categories. The rest of sociology, epistemology, and ontology may not necessarily have cause and effect or clear evidence, but are more accomplished through speculation.
It can only be said that Ma Ziqiang is really smart and can get to the point right away.
Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Ziqiang, looked serious, and said seriously: "Ma Qing is right, I have thought about this too."
"So, what I mean is..."
"Return to the Holy Spirit as it should be, and return to me as it is."
Chapter completed!
