Pu Songling, who was nearly seventy years old, was demoted from the post of Minister of Rites for repeatedly admonishing the new emperor. Out of anger, he resigned and returned home to write a book.
Of course it's not "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", he doesn't like that stuff yet.
Pu Songling's book is "The Academic Cases of Hongye and Two Dynasties in the Beginning of the Republic of China", which describes in detail the birth, development and evolution of ideological and academic factions during the Taizu and Taizong periods of this dynasty.
One of the important contents is that he classified natural scientists as figures of the school of thought in the new dynasty!
Those who study natural science are collectively called physicalists.
The origin of the word physics is very early and can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Zhuangzi had a saying of "analyzing the principles of all things".
Even in Pu Songling's writings, natural science can compete with Neo-Confucianism and fall under the sect of Confucianism.
That is, Confucianism is divided into two major schools: Tianli and physics. The traditional Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue belong to the Tianli school, and the emerging natural sciences belong to the physical school.
"It's been raised." Zhu Aao said with a blush, and a palace maid was watching beside her.
Zhu Ailao was overjoyed.
Pu Songling looked at the name, immediately stood up and said, "Hurry and open the front door!"
Pu Songling asked: "Which distinguished guest?"
At the beginning, the physical school absorbed and applied the worldview of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to make its development more acceptable to the public.
Zhu A'ao brought the eight-treasure porridge, and Zhao Han watched it while drinking it. He also chatted for a few words while Yubi kept writing.
Zhu Yifen handed over a letter, which was Zhu Cihong's obituary: "My ancestor died of illness this spring, and I would like to ask you to write an epitaph."
The visitor was Zhu Yifen, the grandson of the former Ming Prince, and Pu Songling personally went to the courtyard to greet him.
Zhao Han thought for a while and said: "Instead of going through the accounts of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works, the royal family will allocate two thousand taels of silver and let your eldest brother use it to repair it, and give him half a year's vacation to work on things."
Fei Rulan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to admit defeat."
"It's time to go to bed." Zhao Han rubbed his shoulders.
The Tenri School focuses on social research, while the Physical School focuses on natural research.
"Then I go prepare the eight-treasure porridge!" Zhu Aona knew that the emperor was going to work overtime again.
"Won!"
Marrying an emperor who was more than ten years older than herself, Zhu Auao lived a very happy life.
Having been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for several years, Pu Songling was familiar with education and science and technology, and he was the most authoritative and convincing person to compile the "Study Cases of Hongye and Two Dynasties in the Beginning of the Republic of China".
Zhao Han regarded the palace maid as nothing, and pulled Zhu Yushuo onto his lap to sit down: "I heard that your painting skills have improved a lot recently?"
The grandson handed over the greeting card.
Chongzhen can be regarded as Zhao Han's father-in-law, so it is reasonable for him to pay for his father-in-law's tomb construction. What's more, he also accepted Chongzhen's favorite concubine Tian Guifei, so he should be more tolerant and generous towards his ex-husband.
There are five years of primary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and four years of college. The entry age is seven years old.
There were too many tigresses in the palace, and he really couldn't bear them.
In the past, her father was so busy that she would sometimes watch. She was young at that time and didn't know what her father was busy with. Anyway, he was just reading various official documents. She was so angry that she slapped the table as she looked at it. Don't dare to breathe.
Zhu Cixiang said that when he returned to Beijing, he passed through Hebei and made a special trip to see the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum. Siling (Chongzhen Tomb) was built by Li Zicheng, and King Chuang lived in Beijing for a few months. How could the mausoleum be built? Nowadays, it has fallen into disrepair and is not only overgrown with weeds, but even the graves have been dug by grave robbers.
When he got up the next day, Zhao Han felt sore in his back and decided to go to Fei Rulan's place to do some household chores for the next two days.
As the referee blew the whistle, half of the audience cheered.
Zhao Han took the concubine's little hand and asked, "You have just been in confinement for three months. Have you recovered well?"
"You might as well take a shower, you're all covered in stinky sweat." Zhao Han regretted choosing Nanjing as his capital. The weather was uncomfortably hot these days.
To be honest, Zhao Han was a little tired and just wanted to fall asleep.
Anyone could sign up to compete as long as they wanted to, and the emperor allowed gambling, as long as the stakes were not too high.
The Tenri School and the Physical School began to merge and evolve!
The emerging Confucian scholars of the Tenri School actively absorbed the results of natural science. They incorporated natural science knowledge into traditional Confucianism, and even modified some ancient books, such as "Rotten grass turns into fireflies" in the "Book of Rites".
In the racecourse, young men and women kept cheering, each cheering for the contestants they were optimistic about.
Under the support of Taizu Zhao Han, the teaching materials of schools at all levels added natural science content.
You must have a junior high school diploma before you can apply for official positions at the county or town level. And in actual practice, junior high school graduates are often not competitive unless they can use connections to get through the back door. Unlike the time of Taizu Zhao Han, officials who graduated from primary school were more
All.
The threshold for applying for official positions has also been raised.
Zhao Han was speechless and couldn't help but complain: "Does this tomb robber have no brains? How many gold and silver treasures can be buried in the tomb that Li Zicheng had people build?"
In fact, tomb robbers are also very helpless. There are so many tombs in the Ming Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum. Only the tomb of Chongzhen is the best to rob. The tombs of other emperors have to be excavated with explosives.
"Thanks to Sister Liu for teaching me." Zhu Nuao said, leaning on the emperor's arms.
The emperor's husband in front of me always calmly reviews memorials, and most of the time he is extremely fast. Sometimes he will complain: "Such trivial matters can be solved by the ministry. It is sheer nonsense to send it to the cabinet. It is ridiculous to send it to me."
!”
Among all the concubines, the Kazakh Princess Jibieko, who was newly admitted last year, is the emperor's favorite concubine. However, in such public occasions, she sits on the outermost side because she is the lowest-ranked concubine.
Zhao Han continued to review official documents, and finally ended his overtime work after the bath water was boiled.
Zhu Yifen looked sad: "Fen was entrusted by my father and came here to pay homage to Mr."
After making arrangements for the grandson of his old friend, Pu Songling took up his pen at night and suddenly didn't know how to write the beginning.
Although Lu Tianxiang is much calmer, when encountering such an occasion, he will definitely participate in the competition himself. At this moment, he is chasing the ball on horseback.
"Take it, take it all, I haven't won a few times," Zhao Han, who deliberately bought weak teams, laughed heartily at this time, and said to Liu Rushi, "Liu Fei, don't buy from me next time."
Side."
Liu Rushi said: "Nong is a gambler, and the underdog has higher odds."
The farther back she goes, the more likely her father will become angry and irritable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Even small things like repairing the cemetery must be reported!
"Siling was stolen?"
It won't work if we don't change it. It has nothing to do with discrimination against women. The main reason is that there is an explosion of knowledge and more and more content needs to be learned. Suppressing women from studying is just a side effect.
The school system was also reformed during Pu Songling's tenure.
In Zhu Yuluo's opinion, the emperor was not only a husband, but also like a father and an elder brother.
The identity of the former crown prince was too sensitive, and the current His Majesty is still a petty person!
…
Zhao Han put his arms around Zhu Nusuo's waist, smelled the fragrance of the concubine, and secretly chatted for a while, then said: "I will leave the city for autumn hunting in two days. I have to hurry up and finish the unfinished political affairs."
Zhu Cixi only dared to plug up the robbery hole, remove the weeds, and wipe the tombstone clean. He wanted to spend his own money to tidy up his father's tomb. Even if it did not meet the standards of the emperor, at least he would be able to catch up with the rich people in the countryside.
After she came back feeling fresh and refreshed, Zhu Ainao was already lying on her side on the bamboo mat, wearing a light and translucent gauze dress. Her charming eyes were like silk and she said: "Husband, I have been in confinement for more than three months. The doctor said that we can have sex..."
There are also group programs, where everyone sits around the racecourse and watches circus, polo, football and other sports.
At around ten o'clock at night, Zhao Han was still reviewing the memorial.
The fifteen-year study period has discouraged many female students. They are basically engaged when they are in junior high school. They get married and have children immediately after graduating from junior high school. Countless women who are aspiring to study go to high school to study, and those who can endure the pressure can finish it.
Very few.
Pu Songling was startled, then sighed.
The concubines played with the ministers' wives, and the princes and princesses played with the ministers' children and grandchildren. Making new friends every year was much happier than being bored in the palace.
Zhu Yusao said: "Your Majesty, please allow my brother to take leave to repair my father's tomb. I will pay for the expenses without incurring government funds."
When more and more young people study natural science from an early age and go to court one after another, they become the backbone of society one after another. The mainstream public opinion begins to reverse year by year. All the real traditional Confucians are dead, and the emerging Confucians are
Everyone has studied natural science.
Next to Zhao Han sat the concubines, who also participated in gambling. Everyone enjoyed winning the emperor's money.
"Grandpa, we have a distinguished visitor!" the grandson, who is in high school, ran into the study to announce.
Zhu Ainao quickly massaged the emperor's shoulders and asked, "Although it's autumn, the heat is still strong. Do you want me to take a bath again?"
As for female college students, they are rare in number!
Zhu Aina turned over and stood up, her gauze clothes slipped down, her shoulders were half exposed, and she ran to undress the emperor. Once she was undressed, she took the emperor to hand over the emperor's food.
In the last years of the Republic of China, very fierce academic differences and debates broke out between traditional Confucian scholars and emerging scientists. Some Confucian scholars even proposed that natural science was a crooked path and advocated excluding natural science from courts and schools.
After finishing the eight-treasure porridge and approving more than a dozen documents, Zhu Aona looked at the clock in the corner and reminded: "Husband, it's almost eleven o'clock. Let's rest today."
"Please come inside and have a rest." Pu Songling said.
Although Zhu Cixiang, the former crown prince, was not suppressed, he always had an official ceiling. His highest official position was to participate in politics in Shanxi Province. Pu Songling served as Shanxi's chief envoy for several years, and his friendship with Zhu Cixiang was very good.
Be good.
Autumn forty years ago.
This emperor is relatively long-term, and there are not many concubines in the palace. If they take turns to sleep with each other, there will be some left after taking turns twice a month. And like the empress and concubine Tian, although they are old and lose their beauty, the emperor will also take turns.
Accompanying each other usually doesn't involve having sex, it's just a casual chat.
Zhu Yusuo was thirty-six years old, and her brother Zhu Cihong returned to Beijing to report on his work and asked to visit the palace.
Zhu Aelao immediately ordered the palace maid next to her, and the palace maid trotted to arrange hot water.
Especially the European concubine, who only sleeps with her for two days at most every month, and she acts like she wants to eat someone when they meet her. What should the emperor do when he is tired from work? Just lie down and I will do it myself!
In a blink of an eye, it was autumn hunting again, and the emperor left the city with his concubines, children, and a large group of generals and scholars from Qintianyuan.
The Book of Rites is one of the Five Classics. Even the annotations in the Book of Rites can be modified. What else can't be changed?
In Pu Songling's writings, Taizu Zhao Han was identified as the founder of the physical school. Xu Guangqi and others in the previous dynasty were also regarded as pioneers, and even included Pascal and other Western scholars who immigrated to China.
The spring outing takes civil servants and Hanlin Academy, and the autumn outing takes military generals and Qintianyuan. These two outings every year have become a routine. The concubines, princes and princesses also like it because the rules are more relaxed. Not only can they go out to play in the city, but also the wives and sons of the ministers.
Women will also come.
Liu Rushi took good care of herself very well, especially after becoming a concubine. She didn't argue with anyone. She cultivated her body and soul all day long, and lived a carefree and comfortable life. Although she is forty-eight years old this year, she looks like a woman in her early thirties.
"That's right, then we will definitely win next year," Zhao Han stood up holding the wine glass, "Gentlemen, please drink this glass to the full and wish me eternal peace in China!"
"I wish China eternal unity!"
Everyone shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder.
This autumn, the sun is shining brightly, the weather is smooth, and the world is prosperous.
(The new book "Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty" will be released around 9 a.m. tomorrow.)
(Also, it is recommended to watch the movie "The Wandering Earth 2". There is no charge for running water, and I haven't had a pee for more than three hours. I plan to find time to go for a second brush.)
